1 · The pass rule
The pass rule, in plain words
You pass with at least 50 percent in the speaking test. If speaking is below 50, you still pass when the average of speaking and listening reaches 50.
Speaking 62, listening 40
Pass. Speaking is at 50 or above, so it stands on its own.
Speaking 45, listening 58
Pass on the offset rule. The average is 51.5.
Speaking 49, listening 51
Pass on the offset rule. The average is exactly 50.
Speaking 49, listening 50
Not passed. The average is 49.5, just under the line.
2 · Self-check
Nine honest statements
Read each one and count how many are true for you today. Rate yourself as you are, not as you hope to be on the day.
The interview, at A2
- I can speak for 30 seconds about my daily routine or my work without switching out of Luxembourgish.
- I understand common interview questions like Wou wunnt Dir? or Wéi oft gitt Dir an d’Vakanz? without a translation.
- When I miss a question, I can ask in Luxembourgish for it to be repeated, then answer it.
The picture description
- Looking at an everyday photo, I can say who is in it, where they are, and what they are doing.
- I can keep going for several connected sentences about one picture, not just single words.
- I can end a description with a short opinion, for example whether I would like to be there.
Listening, at B1
- I follow a slow spoken announcement about times, places, and prices, like a radio message.
- I can follow an everyday conversation between two people well enough to say what they decided.
- When I hear a short presentation on a familiar topic, I catch the main point even if I miss words.
As a rough read: if most are not true yet, start at the beginning. If around half are true, you are getting close. If nearly all are true, you are ready to test yourself.
3 · Four quick facts
Things a ready candidate already knows
The speaking test opens with the interview on an everyday topic, then the picture description. There is no written part.
Speaking is assessed at CEFR A2 and listening at B1. You do not need to be fluent.
Registration costs 75 euros.
Below-50 speaking is offset when the average of speaking and listening reaches 50. Here the average is 52, so this passes.
Your read
What each band means
Wherever you land, there is exactly one calm next step.
Not yet
On your own reading, the speaking base the 50 percent threshold asks for is not there yet. That is a starting point, not a verdict.
Begin at the beginning: everyday vocabulary and your first spoken answers, a few minutes a day.
Getting close
You have a base, and the 50 percent speaking threshold is within reach. The gaps are specific now, not general.
Find out which gaps are real: a full mock under exam conditions shows you in one sitting.
Ready to test yourself
On your own reading, you are working at or above the level the pass threshold asks for. The honest next step is to confirm it.
Confirm it under exam conditions: a full mock, scored, with feedback on every answer.
