Why these words
- The 500 most frequent words cover two thirds of the DGT exam text; 1,000 words cover 80%. We start with them.
- Every word comes with an example from a real DGT question and its translation, so you learn it exactly as it appears in the exam.
- A dedicated module covers trap words — siempre, únicamente, salvo. Even people who know the rules lose points on them.
FAQ
Is it free?
Yes, the whole course is free and needs no sign-up. Your progress is stored in your browser.
What level of Spanish do I need?
None. The course starts with basic words — road, lane, hard shoulder — and builds up to the wording of real exam questions.
Can’t I just take the test in English?
You can take the category B theory test in English. But the practical driving test is in Spanish, and road signs, fines and the officers you meet are too. The last module covers the examiner’s commands.
Where do the words and examples come from?
We counted word frequencies across the DGT category B question bank of the SkilyApp trainer and checked definitions against the official DGT dictionary and Spain’s Traffic Act. The examples are real exam questions.
