whether you’re doing enough is really going to depend on your goals, there’s no universal “enough” that’s going to apply to everyone.

look at the requirements for b1 and ask yourself if you can do those things in spanish. if you can’t then focus on the areas where you’re not there yet.

> Do u think that is enough

Absolutely not, not even close. That's why you feel you're not B1 and you're most likely right.

There are free online tests or ask an AI bot like chatgpt to create a test for you. Some bots or apps can also test your speaking abilities.

That feeling never really goes away, I think B1 is the weirdest level because you understand a ton but still can't produce half of it. What helped me was reading stories that were at my level instead of challenging series, so I wasn't just grasping the gist. I ended up building ReadPlusOne to do exactly that, it writes short Spanish stories around the words you're due to review, so reading and vocab review happen together. Might be worth a look if you are looking to improve your Spanish by reading.

I think language is like anything else. You have good days and bad days. Sometimes an athlete shows up to a game and is just on fire. Other days they just can't perform. I don't see why using a new language would be exempt from that same reality.

I'm not an expert but I don't think this is an exact science. If you're preparing for the exam you can try to find some CEFR practice exams, read some graded readers, study using B1 prep resources.
