For most EPSO competitions, candidates have the option to take the Verbal, Numerical and Abstract Reasoning Tests in any of the 24 official languages of the European Union.
However, getting ready for EPSO tests can be frustrating when your choice for Language 1 is not one of the working languages of the European Union.
Have you found that practice resources, especially for the Verbal Reasoning Test are largely only available in English, French or German?
This makes it very difficult for candidates, taking the EPSO computer-based tests in other languages, to find practice resources in their chosen language.
At EU Training we are aware of this challenge and are constantly working to expand our database of practice questions and add new languages to the mix.
Currently, we have practice questions available in 19 languages!
Fluent language comprehension skills are crucial in the Verbal Reasoning Test and therefore it is important to have access to good quality practice questions in this test type, in the language you have chosen for the competition.
That's why we have put great emphasis on offering this test in as many languages as possible - with more languages planned in the future.
Other EPSO test types are also available in our database in a variety of languages.
Since the Abstract Reasoning Test uses graphical elements and the mathematical principles of the Numerical Reasoning Test are universal, you will not be disadvantaged if you find that you need to use practice tests in a language different to your chosen Language 1.
Here logic and having a good understanding of maths basics are key, not language comprehension.
Plus, for all EPSO competitions, you are required to have a good command of a second language - which generally will be English, French or German. This means that you'll be more than capable of understanding and successfully completing abstract and numerical reasoning practice questions in these languages as well.
In the table below you will see which practice test types are available in which languages.
