ANSWER
Do the Justicia oposiciones still have a typing test?
No, not in the current convocatoria. The 2025 notification for Tramitacion Procesal y Administrativa sets three exercises and the third is twenty multiple-choice questions on Windows 10 and 11 and Microsoft 365, in forty minutes. Auxilio Judicial has two exercises and no computer exercise at all. Both cuerpos did once set typing tests, which is why so much preparation material still describes a transcription in detail.
The three exercises, as the notification sets them
For Tramitacion Procesal y Administrativa by open access, the first exercise is a hundred multiple-choice questions on the syllabus in a hundred minutes, scored out of sixty with a penalty of 0.15 for a wrong answer and thirty needed to pass. The second is ten multiple-choice questions on a practical case in thirty minutes, scored out of twenty. The third is twenty multiple-choice questions on Windows and Office in forty minutes, also out of twenty. All three are eliminatory and all three are answered on paper by choosing between options. The office exercise names its versions - Windows 10 and 11, and the desktop version of Microsoft 365 - so candidates know which interface the questions describe. For Auxilio Judicial there are two exercises, both multiple choice: a hundred theory questions and forty questions across two procedural cases. No computer exercise appears at all.
Knowing the software is not the same as using it
The third exercise is worth reading carefully because it is easy to mistake for a practical test. It is not one. It asks questions about Windows and Office and is scored like the other two, with a quarter point deducted for a wrong answer. That is a different preparation from typing. Where a transcription rewards speed and accuracy at the keyboard, this rewards knowing where a setting lives, what a shortcut does and how a feature behaves. Practising your typing speed does not move that score at all. It is also worth knowing that the questions are pinned to named versions. Menus move between releases, and an answer that is right in one version can be wrong in another.
What changed, and what to do about it
These cuerpos did set typing exercises in earlier cycles. A large amount of preparation material was written against those, describing transcription speeds in keystrokes a minute, and it is still the first thing most searches return. The practical consequence is the same as for the state Auxiliar competition: hours spent on typing practice for this process are hours the syllabus and the case questions do not get. Whether the Auxiliar Administrativo del Estado sets one covers the parallel case, and it changed in the same direction. If you are sitting a different competition, check it separately rather than assuming. Typing exercises are alive in the Cortes Generales and in many autonomous and local processes, and each publishes its own terms.
The limits of this answer
This is taken from the notification of 22 December 2025 convoking the open-access processes for Gestion Procesal, Tramitacion Procesal y Administrativa and Auxilio Judicial, read directly. It describes those cuerpos, by that access route, in that cycle. Promotion-track processes are convoked separately, and this page says nothing about them. Nor does it describe autonomous administrations that run their own justice-sector competitions. And a later notification could change it back. The instruction that never goes out of date is to read the one you are applying under.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
What is the third exercise in Tramitacion Procesal?
+Twenty multiple-choice questions on Windows 10 and 11 and the desktop version of Microsoft 365, answered in forty minutes and scored out of twenty with a quarter point deducted for a wrong answer. It tests knowledge of the software rather than the ability to operate it under time pressure.
Does Auxilio Judicial have any computer exercise?
+No. The current notification sets two exercises for that cuerpo: a hundred theory questions in a hundred minutes and forty questions across two procedural cases in sixty minutes. Neither involves a computer, a word processor or a typing speed.
Why does so much material describe a transcription?
+Because earlier cycles of these cuerpos did include one, and the material written for them was rarely revised when the format changed. Preparation pages tend to be updated when the syllabus moves and not when the exercise structure does, so the old description survives.
Is typing speed useless for a Justicia post then?
+Not for the work, which involves a great deal of document production, and not for other competitions you might sit. It is simply not what these exercises measure, so it should not be where the preparation time for this particular process goes.
Are the Office questions tied to a specific version?
+Yes, and the notification names them. Menus, defaults and feature names differ between releases, so an answer correct in one version can be wrong in another. Studying on the versions written into the notification avoids learning the wrong interface.
Does this apply to promoción interna as well?
+It is not safe to assume so. Promotion-track processes are convoked in separate notifications with their own exercises, and this page is drawn only from the open-access one. Find the section covering the route you are applying by and read that.
