Pour bien vous préparer

Conseils d'examen d'EUpassway · éditorial, pas des règles officielles

1Ask what is accepted

Universities, employers and recognition offices may prefer a certain B2 exam. Check before you book.

2Plan the forum post

About 150 words with several viewpoints: spend 5 minutes on an outline (intro, 2–3 points, conclusion) before you write.

3Time your 4-minute talk

Practise talks on current topics with a timer; end with your own opinion and be ready for questions.

4Use modules strategically (Goethe)

If one skill is weaker, you can retake only that module — plan extra practice time for it.
