How ready are you for the Sproochentest?

Two minutes, in your browser. The pass rule made intuitive, nine honest self-check statements in the exam’s three-part shape, and four facts a ready candidate knows. No signup, and nothing you enter leaves this page.

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

Everyday topics like where you live, your routine, holidays.

  • 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

You choose a photo and describe it in your own words.

  • 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

Spoken Luxembourgish on practical, everyday matters.

  • 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.
