Sproochentest
The Sproochentest uses a dual scoring system. You pass if your average score across both sections (A2 oral and B1 listening) reaches 50% or more, or if you score 50% or more on the oral section alone. This means a strong speaking performance can carry you even if listening is weaker.
Understand the Sproochentest scoring system, the 50% average rule, and what you actually need to pass the oral and listening sections.
Exact exam context first, then preparation guidance.
Pass threshold
50% average across both sections
Alternative pass
50% or more on oral alone
Oral weight
A2 oral expression
Listening weight
B1 listening comprehension
The exam has two scored parts: A2 oral expression and B1 listening comprehension. Each section is scored independently, and your final result depends on the combined average or the oral score alone, whichever is higher.
This scoring structure favours candidates who invest heavily in speaking preparation, because a strong oral score can compensate for a weaker listening result.
If your exam date is close and you cannot improve both sections equally, prioritise oral expression. Topic answers, picture descriptions, and mock speaking drills have the highest return because they directly affect the section that can carry you to a pass.

Yes. If your oral expression score alone reaches 50% or more, you pass regardless of the listening result.
You do not pass. You will need to retake the exam. Focus your preparation on the oral section, which has the highest impact on the final result.
The 50% threshold is the published standard. Check INLL for any session-specific updates.
