Practice Sections
Reading practice: 32 texts in exam formats
3 min read Updated 2026-08-31
The reading section has 32 texts with 141 questions. Texts 1–26 are the everyday formats the exam loves — notices, emails, ads, menus, timetables, letters, tourist information. Texts 27–32 are ⭐ Advanced and mirror the real exam task types: SMS matching, public notices, longer narratives and a statistics text.
How an exercise works
- 1
Read the questions first
That's the #1 exam strategy — know what you're looking for before you read the text.
- 2
Read the text and answer everything
All questions for a text are answered together; options are shuffled each session.
- 3
Verify
The whole text is scored at once — you'll see each answer marked, earn 15 XP, and can retry for a better score.
Every attempt is saved, so each text shows your history and best result. Completed texts count toward the Bookworm badge (all 32) and 12% of your readiness score — your last five results in the section count too, not just the number of texts finished.
On the real exam, reading shares one 75-minute clock with writing. When you can answer a practice text comfortably, start timing yourself — the mock exams train exactly that.
