La parte de “Grammar and Vocabulary” del examen de Aptis General está compuesta de 50 preguntas (25 preguntas de vocabulario y 25 de gramática). Esta prueba puede llegar a determinar mejor si estas en un nivel u otro. Se puntúa sobre 50 puntos y tiene una duración de 25 minutos.

Esta parte es muy importante porque dependiendo de la nota que obtengas redondeara al alza o a la baja tu resultado final. Es decir, si en tres habilidades demuestras un nivel B2 pero en una de ellas tienes un B1, la parte de “Grammar and vocabulary” determinará si estás más cerca de un nivel u otro.
