Qué se evalúa realmente

Basado en las descripciones oficiales de tareas y niveles, no en preguntas filtradas.

Compréhension de l’oral

  • Duration: About 20 min; 3–4 very short recordings, each heard twice.
  • Answer questions while or after listening; read the questions before the audio starts.
  • CEFR A1 listening: recognise familiar words and very basic phrases about yourself, your family and surroundings, when people speak slowly and clearly.
Fuente [5]

Compréhension des écrits

  • Duration: 30 min; 4–5 short written documents.
  • Answer questions on short documents from daily life.
  • CEFR A1 reading: understand familiar names, words and very simple sentences, e.g. on notices, posters or in catalogues.
Fuente [2]

Production écrite

  • Duration: 30 min; 2 tasks.
  • Fill in a form; write simple sentences (postcard, message) on everyday topics.
  • CEFR A1 writing: write a short, simple postcard and fill in forms with personal details.
Fuente [2]

Production orale

  • Duration: 5–7 min, 10 min preparation.
  • Guided interview (entretien dirigé), information exchange (échange d’informations), role-play (dialogue simulé).
  • CEFR A1 speaking: ask and answer simple questions on very familiar topics, if the other person helps.
  • At least 5/25 is needed here too — a weak oral can block the diploma.

Consejos de examen de EUpassway · editorial, no son normas oficiales

1Aim above 5/25 everywhere

A high total does not help if one part is below 5/25. Train your weakest skill first.

2Practise with timing

Do a full written practice in one sitting (1 h 20) so you know how it feels.

3Book early

Centres have registration windows and limited places. Check two or three centres near you.

4Keep the diploma safe

The diploma is valid for life and you may need it for several applications. Keep a scan and the original.
