- 60 minutes in the real test
- 100 points
- 80 to pass
- 5 parts
- Free, no sign-up
- At the prefecture, in a CPIA
The real test lasts 60 minutes. There is no clock here: take the time you need, and do it again whenever you like.
How this practice test is built
Listen to the announcement and answer. You can listen as many times as you like.
Listen to the message and answer.
Read the notice and answer.
Read the advert and answer.
Fill in the form, one word per gap.
We wrote this practice test on the model of the real one. The 100 points and the pass mark of 80 are official; what each question is worth is not, because the Ministry does not publish it.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the official test?
No. We wrote it on the model of the real one: same structure, same score, same pass mark. The official questions are not published anywhere.
If I get 80 here, will I pass the real test?
It is a good sign, not a guarantee. In the real test you write by hand, in one hour, in a classroom. If you go past 80 here without rushing, you are on the right track.
Can I do it again?
Yes, as many times as you like. The questions stay the same: the second time, look above all at the ones you got wrong.
What to do now
If you are close to 80 you are nearly there: keep going with the exercises and with the page on how the test works. If you are far off, it is usually everyday vocabulary, not grammar.
