The European Baccalaureate Language 2 Advanced study guide has 5 sections and about 1,889 words.
01Language 1 (L1) Written Examination
The L1 written paper is the European Baccalaureate's most sustained test of reading, analysis and argument in your first language. The EB final result combines a preliminary (A) mark with an examination (B) mark and requires at least 60/100 overall; the written papers are a major part of B.

The L2 Advanced written paper tests whether you can understand demanding authentic texts, manipulate the language accurately, and produce a coherent text for a specified reader. Advanced level means more than communication: it means control of register, complex sentence structures and inference.
366 words, about 2 min03Mathematics Written Examination
The mathematics written paper tests reasoning, proof, modelling and fluent technique across the syllabus. Marks are awarded for method and justification, so a correct answer with no working can lose most of the credit, while a clear method with a slip can still earn heavily.

349 words, about 2 min05Oral Examinations (L1, L2 or a Subject Taught through L2)
The oral examinations test spoken analysis and interaction. In L1 and L2 orals, you discuss a text or prompt; in a subject taught through L2, you discuss content - history, geography, economics or another subject - in your second language.
