DELE Study Plan: Week-by-Week Schedule | LearnByTeaching.ai
This 12-week DELE B2 study plan prepares you for all four exam papers: Reading, Listening, Writing, and the live Oral exam. The plan emphasizes authentic Spanish materials and structured writing practice, with increasing intensity as the exam approaches. Adjust the timeline for C1 (extend to 16+ weeks) or B1 (condense to 8-10 weeks) based on your current level.

Rest & Review Strategy
Take one full day off per week from formal DELE study. On rest days, maintain passive immersion by watching Spanish TV shows or listening to music — enjoyment without pressure. If fatigue builds up, replace a study session with light reading of a Spanish novel or magazine rather than exam-style practice.
Adjustment Tips
- 1
If you are preparing for DELE C1 instead of B2, extend this plan to 16-20 weeks and add weekly synthesis essay practice starting in Week 4.
- 2
If you live in a Spanish-speaking environment, reduce formal listening practice and increase writing and grammar focus.
- 3
If your oral skills are significantly weaker than your reading and writing, add two extra 30-minute speaking sessions per week with a tutor.
- 4
If you are a heritage Spanish speaker with strong oral skills, focus more on formal register writing and reading comprehension of academic texts.
- 5
If you score above 70% on the diagnostic, consider condensing the plan to 8-10 weeks by combining the integrated practice weeks.

Day 3
Wednesday: Do a final oral exam rehearsal focusing on confidence, structure, and discourse markers.
Day 4
Thursday: Light review of connectors, key vocabulary, and formal letter/essay structure templates.
Day 5
Friday: Confirm your exam center, arrival time, and what to bring. Review the schedule for each paper.
Day 6
Saturday: Rest completely — watch a Spanish movie or listen to music, but no exam-style practice.
Day 7
Sunday (Exam Day): Arrive early, stay calm during the oral exam by using prepared discourse markers, and trust your 12 weeks of preparation.
