    Of the marks

    • Multiple choice
    • Questions in sets

    Read literary and informational texts in French and answer multiple-choice questions: most on what the text says, some on what you can infer, and a few asking your judgment.

How it’s marked

  1. Below Appropriate Achievement
  2. Appropriate Achievement
  3. Strong Achievement

A computer marks your answers. There's no pass mark: you get an achievement level, and Appropriate Achievement or above counts as successful.

On the day

One online sitting, followed by a short survey. You can't use a dictionary or thesaurus, and nothing is read aloud to you. Everyone may take up to double the time: 60 minutes plus another 60.

Getting ready

4 official documents to practise with, and 3 tips.

Tips from the people who write it

  • Try the online practice before the assessment.
  • Read each passage carefully before you choose; for true-or-false style items, choose one answer per statement.
  • Most questions, 60%, ask what the text says.

After the exam
