Yes. The questions are original scenarios written by Science of Apps, and each one is based on a public source you can read: DELE diplomas (Instituto Cervantes); Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) (Council of Europe). The source is shown under each question and linked in the answer review. Science of Apps doesn't copy questions from other tests.

Three skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: Gramática (Ser y estar, Pretérito e imperfecto and Subjuntivo); Léxico y uso (Vocabulary in context, Prepositions and connectors and Functional expressions); Comprensión lectora y examen (Reading for detail, Inference and Exam format and strategy). Every question is an original scenario based on a published standard, official documentation or research, named under the question.

DELE diplomas are issued by Instituto Cervantes for a specific CEFR level (A1–C2) and don't expire; you pass or fail at the level you sit. SIELE is a single multi-level online exam scored 0–1000 that places you on the CEFR scale and is valid for five years. Both test reading, listening, writing and speaking.
