These 15 questions come from the Oposilab topic tests for Auxilio Judicial. Each one explains the answer and cites the article it rests on, because a question learned without the article is forgotten in two weeks.
Before the questions, two minutes of context about the exam, because it shapes how you should practise.
The 3 October exam, according to the call#
Order PJC/1549/2025 of 22 December (BOE of 30 December 2025) calls 425 places of open access, 43 of them reserved for candidates with disabilities. The date is set by Order PJC/937/2026 (BOE of 7 September 2026): Saturday 3 October 2026, 9:00, single call.
| Exercise | Content | Questions | Time | Correct | Wrong | Minimum |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| First (theory) | Test on the whole programme | 100 + 4 reserve | 100 minutes | 0.60 | −0.15 | 30 of 60 |
| Second (practical) | Test on two practical cases of judicial proceedings | 40 + 2 reserve | 60 minutes | 1 | −0.25 | 20 of 40 |
Both exercises are mandatory and eliminatory, and take place in the same session. A mistake subtracts a quarter of a correct answer in both; blank answers do not score.

What to do with your mistakes#
A test without correction is a self-esteem exercise, not study. What makes the difference is what you do with the three or four questions you get wrong:
- Read the whole article, not just the explanation. The LOPJ question you fail today will come back with different wording.
- Note it for three days later. That is the interval at which spaced repetition starts to fix memory. In Oposilab this happens on its own: every mistake enters the review queue and comes back when it is due.
- Take a timed mock exam with the 100 questions and the 100 minutes before Saturday 3. Knowing the syllabus and answering 100 questions in a row with the penalty in mind are two different things.
If you sit the exam on 3 October#
The last days are for your most-failed questions and for sleep. The day before, half an hour and close. Check your venue in annex VII of Order PJC/937/2026 and arrive early: the call is single at 9:00.
And if this call does not work out, do not start from scratch in 2027: keep your mistakes. They are the best syllabus you have.
