CCSE
The test about constitutional and sociocultural knowledge of Spain (CCSE test) evaluates your knowledge of the Constitution and of the Spanish social and cultural reality. This is a multiple choice test written in Spanish.
The Instituto Cervantes offers a sample exam and a content guide (all in Spanish).
Any foreigner applying for the Spanish citizenship (including people with a Sephardic Jewish origin) must past these two tests.
