Frequently asked

Is practising on EUpassway free?

Yes. All sample questions, full practice sets and timed mock exams are free and work without an account. A free account only keeps your results, your mistakes to redo and your progress per part.

How do I practise best?

Start per part without a clock: check each answer and read the explanation. When most answers are right, take a timed mock exam in the format of the real exam; there, unanswered questions count as wrong. Then redo your mistakes.
