What are the oppositions?: The 5 easiest exams to pass

The oppositions are the tests that must be passed to access a position as a civil servant or worker of the State. There are many different types of competitions, depending on the sector in which they are framed, the type of civil service to which they correspond and the type of minimum studies they require.

We are not going to deceive you, passing an examination is not a piece of cake , whatever the type. All require a minimum of preparation that, in return, will give you access to quality jobs: stable and well-paid. However, today we present you with some competitive examinations that are less difficult than others , either because they do not require higher education, because the syllabi are smaller or because the number of exams is less.

Competitions without studies and well paid: The 5 easiest exams to pass

The competitive examinations that do not require a high level of studies are those of the civil service groups C2 and E.

Group A officials need to have a university degree, Bachelor’s or Degree; those of B, a title of Superior Technician. Group C is divided into C1 , for which you need to have finished the Bachelor ; and C2, the title of Compulsory Secondary Education . Finally, group E does not require any type of studies. 

Therefore, if you want to take a competitive examination, but you do not have studies or you only have basic studies, you will have to look for group C or lower competitions.
