Can I practice on different devices or only on the one that I made the purchase from?

You can use your purchased test questions, or any other EU training product for that matter, from any computer with an internet connection - as long as you can access your eutraining.eu account -  all you need to know is your login details (the email you registered with and the password you set).

Just please be aware, account sharing is strictly prohibited. Please see our full terms and conditions here.

How do I buy test questions in the language I want to practice in?

Your language preferences are set when you start the test, not during the purchase.

When you purchase practice questions, you're buying a set number of questions from our database, not specific questions. This allows you to select the language for your practice tests in the "Start New Test" section. 

Tip: Click the blue question mark next to each question type to see the number of available questions per language. This will help you make the right purchase for your needs.

Do the practice test questions I've purchased have an expiration date?

Absolutely not. All your purchased questions will remain in your EU Training Dashboard with no expiration whatsoever. You can start a new test as long as you have questions left in your balance (see the MY QUESTIONS block on your Dashboard), or you can Redo/Review your old tests under the Practice Activity block.

Start practicing! You can purchase EPSO-styel practice test questions here.

Where can I find resources for the EPSO MCQ tests?

You may also want to check out the 'How to prepare' series of articles - which offers tailored guidance to prepare for each competition.

 

Can I retake and review my tests?

Yes! 

You can redo and review your old and ongoing tests anytime in your Practice History. 

​To access your Practice History:

  • Make sure you are logged in to your EU Training account
  • Go to your EU Training Dashboard
  • Click "VIEW FULL PRACTICE HISTORY" under the Practice Activity block. 
  • Choose a test you'd like to retake and click on 'Retake Test'

 

 

How can I access and start my EPSO-Style Written Test Simulation?

  • Once you've purchased your EPSO-style Written Test Simulation(s), head to your EU Training Dashboard. 
  • Scroll down to find the MY WRITTEN TESTS section on the left side, here you will see your quota, as well as the related Documents you need to prepare.
  • Just like the real EPSO exam, you have access to the document ahead of time, and you will only receive the assignment when you start the exam.
  • The assignment given on exam day will directly relate to this document

Take your time to prepare:

  • Read through the document thoroughly
  • Analyse, and create an outline
  • Summarise the most important sections in your own words
  • Think about possible tasks you may be assigned

 

To start your test simulation on your Dashboard:

  • If you want to practice without a time limit, choose 'Practice'
  • If you're ready to do the timed simulation select "Exam simulation."
    • Choose "EPSO Specialist (AD, AST)", then "[product-name]" 
    • Only 1 simulation should be chosen before proceeding
    • Click "Next," then "Start exam simulation"
    • Make sure to open the background document in a separate window of your browser

Once you've written your response to the assignment and finished the simulation test, you can request an evaluation from your Practice History section, on the right under the START NEW TEST section. Remember, the EPSO-Style Written Test only assesses one competency: Written Communication Skills.

To prepare for the Written Test, we highly recommend reading this free article: Writing effectively and avoiding plagiarism.

 

Will I get the same questions if I buy a new package? Are there repetitions?

Each exercise has a unique question ID that our system tracks per user. This way we can ensure that you will not receive the same question twice as far as you don't exceed the maximum number of exercises that we offer. 

You can also check the available number of questions from each type, per language in advance of your purchase, by hovering over the little blue question mark next to the Question type: 

Little blue question mark hover shows how many questions+languages for each questions type.
