Hey everyone! With the Spanish university entrance exam, Selectividad, just around the corner, how’s your studying going? I feel like I’ve covered most of the material, but I’m still a bit nervous. I’ve been wanting to practice with some past papers to get a feel for the exam and identify any gaps in my knowledge.
After a lot of digging online and asking senior students, I’ve finally put together a list of some pretty good websites with exam resources. In the spirit of helping each other out, I’m sharing them with you today. I hope this helps anyone feeling anxious about their prep! Let’s get rid of the information gap

A Roundup of Prep Resources
1. Official Websites of Regional Education Departments
This is definitely the most authoritative and official source! The website of each autonomous community’s education department usually publishes the official EBAU/EvAU exam papers and grading criteria from the past few years. You can easily find them by Googling “Exámenes EvAU [name of your region],” for example, “Exámenes EvAU Comunidad de Madrid.” The only downside is that you might have to spend some time organizing and downloading the files yourself.
2. Online Learning Platforms and Forums
Besides the official sources, many online education platforms and student forums have also compiled comprehensive question banks. The advantage of these platforms is that the materials are already sorted by category for you, and some even offer online mock tests, which is very convenient. I’ve created a simple comparison table to help you choose:
| Website/Platform Name | Main Content | Pros | Notes |
|---|
| profesorparticular.es | EBAU exam papers for all subjects | Clearly organized by subject and year | Some require registration |
| academianuevofuturo.com | Past papers from the Community of Madrid | Offers detailed answer explanations, with resources like a Spanish university exam question bank |
| and a university Spanish question bank | A bit heavy on ads |
| unprofesor.com | Video lessons + accompanying exercises | Good for understanding difficult concepts | Not exclusively past papers |
| Instituto Cervantes | Official DELE sample papers | A must-have for DELE prep | Mainly for DELE, limited EBAU content |
For those specifically preparing for the DELE exam, the Instituto Cervantes official website is your holy grail. You absolutely must master the sample papers on there; the exam format and difficulty level are essentially identical.
This is just my personal compilation, and I’m sure there are many other hidden gems I haven’t found. Feel free to share your own favorite resources or exam tips in the comments! Wishing us all the best in getting into our dream universities
! ¡Mucha suerte a todos!
