Testing to be a Civil Guard

Theoretical 

One of the first theoretical tests is spelling. A test that lasts 10 minutes and is based on the completion of a spelling exercise. This part is scored as 'Pass' or 'Not Fit'. If 11 or more misspellings are made then you will be 'Not Eligible'.

La knowledge test is multiple choice with 100 questions and 5 reservations. To carry out this test you have 1 h 35 minutes. Every question you get right will be a point. But remember that those who answer wrongly have a penalty. So when in doubt it is always better to leave it blank. Here, you have to reach 50 points to be able to pass. Otherwise, you will be excluded from the process.

La foreign language test It consists of answering a questionnaire of 20 questions and a reserve question. The time you have to carry it out is 21 minutes. To overcome it you need 8 points, since it is valued from 0 to 20 points.

We arrive at psychotechnical test where the capacity of the applicants is evaluated to be able to adapt to the requirements that are demanded. This test has two parts:

1. Intellectual skills: Intelligence test or specific scales, which serve to assess learning ability.
2. Personality profile: Also based on tests that manage to explore the characteristics of the personality.

Remember that to carry out all these written tests a black ink pen is required, as stated in the bases.

Finally, we have the personal interview which is intended to contrast the results of psychotechnicians. They are looking for motivational qualities as well as maturity and responsibility, flexibility and that the candidate knows how to solve certain problems that arise.

Are the Civil Guard oppositions difficult? 

It is true that things have changed. Because a few years ago it was said that the Civil Guard oppositions were slightly simpler. But today there are more people who show up and the difficulty has varied. This does not indicate that they are impossible, but it does indicate that they must be carefully prepared.

Undoubtedly, when we talk about difficulty, there are several factors that can influence. The hours of study and the hours of physical preparation will determine the final answer. We need to organize the time so that we can prepare the agenda, but without forgetting about physical activity. So we must always establish a good balance and work more on the weaknesses that each person has. It will be a very rewarding effort with a fixed place for life.
