📱How Prep2Go works
What is Prep2Go?
Prep2Go is a final readiness check for citizenship and residency language exams — not a learn-from-zero language course.
We help you answer one question before you pay for a seat or another textbook: are you actually ready to pass?
Primary A2 tracks: CIPLE A2, DELE A2, and Inburgering A2. Also available: DTZ B1, DELF, and CELI. Start with the exam preview (screen walkthrough + sample report), then close gaps with Anki decks (or the iPhone app). Get Prep2Go Pro ($27 lifetime) when you need guided repair across skills — it includes 1 timed mock; buy the mock pack for more scored runs.
How should I use Prep2Go?
Recommended order:
1. Exam preview — browse every section screen and a sample AI report on the mock landing (start here).
2. Fix the gap the mock exposes — usually vocabulary: one-time Anki deck, or daily cards in the iPhone app (All Access is included with Prep2Go Pro — same email).
3. Full AI readiness reports — mock pack (3 scored runs, one-time) if you want section feedback and a weak-skill plan before exam day; Pro also includes 1 timed mock.
4. Prep2Go Pro — guided web practice plus the iPhone app and 1 timed mock; not as the first purchase if you only need reports.
Do not buy another course or deck until the mock tells you where you are weak.
What is the mock test?
A full-length exam simulator for your track (sections, timing, and format). Guests browse a screen-by-screen preview and sample AI report on each mock landing — no sign-up.
For full timed runs — per-section scores, pass/fail against official rules, writing/speaking feedback, and a repair plan — buy the mock report pack (3 runs, one-time), or use the 1 timed mock included with Prep2Go Pro.
Start: /practice-exam.
What are the Anki decks and iPhone app?
Both help with last-mile vocabulary after a mock shows that words are the gap — but they are not the same product.
They do not replace a mock. Use them to repair vocabulary while you re-test readiness.
When do I need Prep2Go Pro?
Get Pro when the mock report shows multiple weak skills and you want weeks of guided repair — reading/listening/writing on the website plus iPhone app All Access (same email). Grammar reference guides stay free. Pro includes 1 timed mock; buy the mock pack for more scored runs.
You do not need Pro to buy an Anki deck or unlock the mock report pack. Pro is for guided repair — not your only path to a timed mock.
Which exams does Prep2Go support?
CIPLE A2 — Portugal
DELE A2 — Spain
Inburgering A2 — Netherlands
Ellinomatheia A2 — Cyprus (Modern Greek)
CCE A2 — Czech Republic
DTZ B1 — Germany
DELF — France (level depends on your file)
CELI — Italy
Primary product focus: A2 exams (CIPLE, DELE, Inburgering, Ellinomatheia, CCE). DTZ B1, DELF, and CELI are also available.
Is Prep2Go a language course?
No. Language apps and courses teach broadly. Prep2Go tells you whether you are exam-ready and what to fix last — via mock reports, then decks or Pro if needed.
If you are far from the target level, use a course or tutor first; come back for the readiness check when you are close to exam date.
What languages does the platform use?
English for the interface and instructions. Exam content — texts, audio, writing tasks — is in the language of the exam you chose (Portuguese, Spanish, German, French, or Italian).
Do I need an account?
No for browsing the exam preview. Sign up when you want to save progress, unlock full timed runs (mock pack), or sync across devices.
💳Pricing: mock, decks & Pro
What can I use for free?
No card required to browse: /practice-exam.
What is the mock report pack?
One-time purchase: 3 full AI-scored mock runs with section feedback, pass/fail against official rules, and a repair plan. Buy it when the free preview shows you are close but need detailed reports before exam day — not before your first mock.
See /pricing.

🎯Choosing Your Exam
Which exam do I need?
It depends on the country where you're applying:
Not sure? Compare all exams →
CIPLE vs DELE — which is harder?
Both test A2 level. CIPLE uses overall CAPLE bands from 55% Suficiente with fixed weights (45/30/25). DELE is scored out of 100 with pair scoring: Grupo 1 (Reading + Writing) and Grupo 2 (Listening + Speaking) each need 30/50. The formats differ: CIPLE listening is played once over speakers with background noise; DELE has different task types. Most students find the difficulty similar — it's the format that trips people up.
See our CIPLE vs DELE comparison.
DELF vs CELI — what is the carry-over policy?
Carry-over is about how retakes work — not which CEFR level your citizenship or residence file needs.
CELI (Italian): if you pass one exam block but fail the other, you can normally keep the passing block and resit only the failed part on a later session, under the rules published by the examining body (Università per Stranieri di Perugia). Always read the current CELI bulletin for the exact conditions.
DELF (French): there is no equivalent partial carry-over for the same diploma session — if you do not pass, you register again and sit the full DELF at that level.
Separately, French naturalisation generally requires B2 proof under rules applying since 1 January 2026 for dossiers under that regime; Italian naturalisation commonly expects CELI 2 (B1). Those thresholds are independent of carry-over — confirm with your préfecture, consulate, or comune as appropriate.
Prep2Go offers A2-centred DELF-style practice and CELI preparation through B1; make sure that matches the level your procedure requires.
See our DELF vs CELI scoring rules (note éliminatoire vs carry-over).
📅Preparation workflow
What's the recommended prep order?
1. Browse the exam preview (/practice-exam).
2. If vocabulary is weak → Anki deck (one-time) or the iPhone app (All Access included with Pro).
3. If you want full AI reports before exam day → mock pack (3 runs).
4. If multiple skills need weeks of repair → Prep2Go Pro (web practice + iPhone app).
Book your official exam slot early — popular centres sell out — but do not guess your readiness; preview first, then mock.
What's the best way to learn vocabulary for the exam?
After a mock shows vocabulary as the gap: use the iPhone app for daily cards without Anki setup, or buy an Anki deck from the shop (one-time). Re-run the mock when your deck is halfway through to see if scores moved.
How long does preparation take?
It depends on your starting level — the mock tells you faster than a generic timeline.
Rough guides if you already have basic conversational ability:
Run the mock. Read the section breakdown. That is your timeline.
When should I book my exam date?
Book your slot before you feel "ready" — centres (especially Lisbon for CIPLE) sell out quickly. Then use Prep2Go mocks to decide when you are safe to sit the real exam.
Do not wait until you feel fluent; wait until mocks show consistent pass scores in every section.
What if I fail my exam?
You can retake at the next session (full fee again for most exams). Before rebooking, run another mock and fix the section that failed — often listening or writing format, not raw language level.
Buy another mock pack if you need full AI reports on each attempt.
Can I switch between exams on Pro?
Yes — Pro includes guided practice across all 8 tracks (CIPLE, DELE, Inburgering, Ellinomatheia, CCE, DTZ, DELF, CELI). Progress is saved per exam. Pro includes 1 timed mock; Anki decks and extra mock runs (mock pack) are purchased separately.
🤔Is Prep2Go right for me?
I already speak the language. Do I still need Prep2Go?
Probably yes — for the mock, not another course. Speaking the language and passing the exam are different skills.
Native-level speakers often fail because of timed sections, exam-style listening (played once, background noise), or scoring rules (CIPLE overall bands + weights, DELE pair scoring, DTZ/DELF per-skill minimums).
Browse the exam preview first, then run a full timed mock when you need scored feedback.
How is this different from Duolingo or Babbel?
Duolingo and Babbel teach language in general. Prep2Go answers: will you pass this specific exam on this date?
Start with a mock. If vocabulary is the gap, buy an Anki deck or use the iPhone app (All Access is included with Pro). If multiple skills are weak, get Pro for web practice plus the app. We are not competing to be your daily language lesson.
Will I become fluent using Prep2Go?
No — and that is not the goal. Citizenship and residency exams test a fixed level (A2, B1, or B2): everyday phrases, simple documents, typical situations.
Prep2Go gets you the certificate. Fluency comes from living in the country afterward.
Does Prep2Go guarantee exam success?
We cannot guarantee a pass. We can give you an honest readiness signal before you book a seat.
What we provide:
What we cannot control: how much you practice, your starting level, or exam-day nerves.
📜2026 residency & citizenship updates
What was Lei Orgânica 1/2024?
A 2024 amendment that changed when your legal residency clock starts — from permit issue date to application date. Waiting time for AIMA could count toward the residency period when the permit was later approved.
Lei Orgânica 1/2026 (in force since 19 May 2026) revoked this rule: for new applications the clock starts when the permit is issued, and most applicants need 10 years of legal residency (7 for EU/CPLP nationals). Applications filed up to 18 May 2026 keep the previous rules. Requirements can change — verify with IRN.
What is Portugal's citizenship residency requirement in 2026?
Under the revised Nationality Law promulgated in May 2026, the standard legal residency period for naturalisation is 10 years for most nationalities and 7 years for EU and CPLP nationals.
An earlier version was blocked by the Constitutional Court in February 2026; the law that entered force afterward raised the timeline from 5 to 10 years for most routes. Grandfathering and transition rules vary by application date and route — verify with official sources or counsel before you plan.
What changed in France for residency in 2026?
As of January 1, 2026, France tightened integration requirements in two separate tracks:
Official syllabus and centres: formation civique (Interior Ministry). Guide: DELF vs examen civique (2026).
Prep2Go prepares the language side (DELF-style practice) — not the civic QCM. Confirm levels and exemptions with your préfecture.
Is examen civique required for French citizenship?
Yes — since January 1, 2026, a passed examen civique (mention naturalisation) is required before you submit a naturalisation dossier, in addition to proof of B2 French. It is a separate 45-minute QCM (40 questions, 80% pass) on Republic values, rights and duties, history, and society — not a language exam.
The same civic exam framework also applies to a first carte de séjour pluriannuelle or carte de résident (different syllabus mention). Renewals are exempt. Some categories (e.g. certain protection statuses, age 65+) may be exempt — check Service Public.
Prep2Go covers DELF/TCF-style language prep only. Full breakdown: DELF and examen civique explained.
Does the 2024 Portuguese law change affect me if I'm already in the process?
It depends on when you filed for citizenship. Applications filed up to 18 May 2026 keep the previous rules: 5 years, with legal residency counted from your residence application date under Lei Orgânica 1/2024.
Applications filed from 19 May 2026 follow Lei Orgânica 1/2026: typically 10 years (7 for EU/CPLP nationals), counted from the date your residence permit was issued. Requirements can change — check with IRN or counsel.
🌍Which countries accept my exam?
Can I use DELF for Swiss citizenship?
Yes — DELF is widely recognised in Switzerland. Requirements vary by canton: French-speaking cantons (Geneva, Vaud, Neuchâtel, Fribourg, Valais, Jura) often accept DELF for permits (e.g. Permis C) and naturalisation, commonly around B1 or B2 depending on the canton — this is Swiss law, not the French 2026 naturalisation rule. Prep2Go offers A2-centred DELF-style preparation; align your study target with what your cantonal migration office publishes.
Is DELF accepted in Belgium?
Yes — DELF is accepted in Belgium for residency and citizenship in Wallonia and Brussels (French-speaking regions). A2 is typically required for long-term residency, while B1 may be needed for citizenship depending on the commune. Prep2Go covers DELF A2 through B2 so you can align with what your commune requires.
Can I use DELF for Canadian immigration?
DELF is recognized for Québec immigration (CSQ). Higher DELF levels earn more points in the Québec Skilled Worker Program. While TEF and TCF are more commonly used for federal Express Entry, DELF demonstrates French proficiency for Québec-specific programs. Prep2Go includes DELF A2 through B2 so you can aim at the level your program asks for.
Is DELE accepted in Andorra?
Yes — Spanish language proficiency (demonstrated by DELE) is valuable for Andorra residency. Andorra recognizes Spanish, Catalan, French, and Portuguese. DELE A2 helps demonstrate your integration for passive and active residency permits. Andorra does not have a formal citizenship-by-residency path for most applicants, but language skills are considered in applications.
Is DELE recognized outside Spain?
DELE is recognized worldwide by governments, employers, and educational institutions across 20+ Spanish-speaking countries. It is the only official Spanish language diploma issued by Instituto Cervantes on behalf of the Spanish Ministry of Education. Recognized for residency and academic purposes in Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Peru, and more.
Is CELI accepted in Switzerland?
Yes — CELI is accepted in the Italian-speaking canton of Ticino for residency (Permis C) and citizenship. Ticino typically requires B1 for citizenship. Prep2Go includes CELI 2 (B1) preparation as well as A2-level practice. CELI is also recognized by Swiss employers in Ticino for professional purposes.
Is CIPLE recognized outside Portugal?
CIPLE is administered by CAPLE (University of Lisbon) and recognized in all Portuguese-speaking countries: Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, São Tomé and Príncipe, East Timor, and Macau. For Portuguese citizenship specifically, CIPLE A2 is the required certificate.
Which exam do I need for Monaco residency?
Monaco requires French language proficiency for residency permits. DELF is accepted. A2 level is typically sufficient for initial permits. Prep2Go covers DELF A2 through B2 — exam-format practice for whichever level you need next.
🇪🇺Language Requirements for Citizenship
Do I need to take the exam if I waited 2 years for my residence permit?
Yes. Under Lei Orgânica n.º 1/2024, time spent waiting for AIMA/SEF approval counted toward your legal residency period, but that rule now applies only to applications filed up to 18 May 2026. Lei Orgânica n.º 1/2026 (in force since 19 May 2026) counts residence from the issue of your permit.
Neither rule removes the language requirement: you still need CIPLE A2 (or an accepted alternative) for most naturalisation routes. Under the Nationality Law in force from May 2026, the standard citizenship timeline is now 10 years of legal residency for most nationalities (7 years for EU/CPLP nationals) — separate from AIMA backlog delays. Requirements can change — verify with IRN.
Take CIPLE when you are ready so the certificate is in hand before you file.
What is the citizenship residency requirement in Portugal now?
For most nationalities, 10 years of legal residency under the revised Nationality Law promulgated in May 2026 (7 years for EU and CPLP nationals). An earlier draft was blocked by the Constitutional Court in February 2026; the subsequently revised law changed the standard timeline from 5 to 10 years for most applicants.
Transition rules (applications already in progress, Golden Visa holders, etc.) depend on dates and route — do not assume the old 5-year rule applies to you. Applications filed up to 18 May 2026 keep the previous rules; confirm with IRN, the Conservatória, or qualified counsel.
For new applications the clock starts when your residence permit is issued (Lei Orgânica 1/2026 revoked the 2024 application-date rule). AIMA backlogs add waiting time on top of the legal period — they are not the same thing as the 10-year rule.
What is the minimum score for citizenship?
For CIPLE A2, CAPLE awards Suficiente from 55% overall (Bom 70–84%, Muito Bom 85–100%). Component weights: Reading & Writing 45%, Listening 30%, Speaking 25%. CAPLE does not publish a separate per-component fail floor. A very weak section can still pull the overall below 55%. Verified against the CAPLE CIPLE page (2026-09).
Prep tip: why averages alone are risky.
Can I retake only one section?
Unlike Italian CELI, CIPLE does not offer a standard single-section retake. If you fail one component, you typically retake the entire exam.
This is why balanced preparation across all sections is critical.
How does DELE A2 scoring work?
DELE A2 is marked out of 100 (25 per test). Apto needs at least 30/50 in Grupo 1 (Reading + Writing) and 30/50 in Grupo 2 (Listening + Speaking). Instituto Cervantes sets no separate per-test minimum, but a strong Grupo cannot rescue a weak one.
What is the eliminatory score in DELF?
If you score below 5/25 in any single skill, you automatically fail — regardless of your total score.
🇵🇹CIPLE A2 Specific
Who needs to take the CIPLE?
Anyone applying for Portuguese citizenship through naturalisation or permanent residency who needs to demonstrate A2-level Portuguese. You do not need to live in Portugal to register — any foreign candidate aged 16 or above can sign up regardless of their country of residence.
What does CIPLE stand for?
CIPLE stands for Certificado Inicial de Português Língua Estrangeira — Initial Certificate of Portuguese as a Foreign Language. It is administered by CAPLE (Centro de Avaliação de Português Língua Estrangeira) at the University of Lisbon.
What's the difference between CIPLE and CAPLE?
CIPLE is the name of the A2-level exam. CAPLE is the body that runs it: the Centre for the Evaluation of Portuguese as a Foreign Language at the University of Lisbon. So you sit the CIPLE exam, which is organised by CAPLE. Other CAPLE exams include DEPLE (B1), DIPLE (B2), DAPLE (C1), and DUPLE (C2). For citizenship you need CIPLE (A2).
How long is the CIPLE exam?
About 2 hours of testing plus a 15-minute break: Reading & Writing 75 minutes (1h 15m), Listening 30 minutes, Speaking ~15 minutes per candidate pair.
Weights: 45/30/25.
All three sittings take place on the same day at most centres, though some centres schedule speaking separately. Check your confirmation email carefully.
What is the pass mark?
CAPLE awards Suficiente from 55% overall (Bom 70–84%, Muito Bom 85–100%). Component weights: Reading & Writing 45%, Listening 30%, Speaking 25%. CAPLE does not publish a separate per-component fail floor. A very weak section can still pull the overall below 55%. Source: CAPLE CIPLE page (checked 2026-09).
Prep2Go tracks section scores for that reason. Readiness guide.
What is the grading scale?
How long until I get results?
Results are published on the CAPLE website approximately 4–6 weeks after the exam date. You'll receive an email with instructions on how to access them using your candidate number. The physical certificate arrives approximately one month after results — so 6–8 weeks from exam to certificate in hand.
Does the CIPLE certificate expire?
No. The diploma issued by CAPLE does not have an expiry date. Always follow current AIMA instructions for your citizenship or residence application; administrative checklists can change, but the certificate itself does not expire.
Do I need to take an A1 exam first?
No. There are no prerequisites. You can register for CIPLE directly without having taken any prior CAPLE exam or certification.
Can I take the exam outside Portugal?
Yes. CAPLE authorised centres exist in over 35 countries including Spain, France, Germany, the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia, Brazil, and Japan. International sessions typically run in May, July, and November. Portugal has more frequent dates, including February through June.
How quickly do exam slots fill up?
Very quickly — especially in Portugal. Slots at popular centres such as Faculdade de Letras in Lisbon can sell out within hours of opening, typically in January. Candidates who waited until they felt ready to book have found all available slots gone for months ahead.
The practical advice: book your exam slot before you start preparing, not after. See our CIPLE A2 exam dates 2026 guide for step-by-step registration.
What do I bring on exam day?
Dictionaries, phones, and all electronic devices must be left outside or switched off completely before entering.
What happens during the listening section?
The listening section is consistently reported as the hardest part of the exam. Audio is played over room speakers — not headphones — and each recording is played once only with no replay. Many recordings include deliberate background noise (café sounds, traffic, public announcements) to simulate real-world listening conditions.
Candidates who only practised with clean, headphone-quality audio are frequently caught off guard. Prepare under realistic conditions.
What happens during the speaking section?
You are paired with another candidate and assessed together in a short oral interaction. Tasks typically include describing a picture, a brief roleplay scenario (buying a ticket, making a complaint, asking for directions), and a short conversation on a familiar topic.
The examiner observes and scores but does not participate in the conversation. Most candidates find this format less stressful than a solo performance.
For extra speaking drills between Prep2Go sessions, many candidates train on Talkio (AI conversation — use promo code PREP2GO for 15% off) or a human tutor on iTalki.
Is there an alternative to the CIPLE exam?
Yes. Completing a certified 150-hour Portuguese A1+A2 course — known as PLA (Português Língua de Acolhimento) — through an officially recognised provider earns an A2 certificate that Portuguese immigration authorities accept in place of the CIPLE. This is explicitly provided for under Portuguese nationality law.
The 150-hour route takes longer (typically 3–5 months) but removes the exam slot problem entirely and suits candidates who prefer a course format over a one-day test.
How much does the CIPLE exam cost?
€95 (CAPLE propina, 2026; last checked September 2026) — your LAPE confirms the amount at inscrição. If you fail, you pay again. That's why preparing properly before booking matters.
CAPLE charges in EUR on the online portal — if your bank blocks EU payments or adds heavy FX, arrange an EUR-ready card before registration day.
Can I retake the exam if I fail?
Yes. There is no limit on the number of attempts. Your scores from a failed attempt are not carried forward — you sit all three sittings again in a future session. You register and pay the full fee again for each attempt.
What is CIPLE A2?
CIPLE A2 (Certificado Inicial de Português Língua Estrangeira) is the official Portuguese A2 certificate issued by CAPLE (Universidade de Lisboa).
It's required for:
Prep2Go helps you prepare for and pass this exam.
How hard is CIPLE A2?
Manageable with consistent preparation.
CIPLE tests basic user level — everyday phrases, simple situations, describing your background. The challenge is often the format (timed sections, specific task types) rather than raw difficulty.
With 8–12 weeks of structured practice, most dedicated students pass.
What's the pass rate for CIPLE A2?
CAPLE does not publish pass rates, so treat any percentage you see online as unofficial.
Common reasons for failing:
Prep2Go addresses all of these through exam-format practice.
What's the weighting trap in CIPLE A2?
Prep2Go’s readiness model watches for any section that is far weaker than the others — sometimes called the “weighting trap.”
What CAPLE publishes on the CIPLE page: Suficiente from 55% overall, with component weights 45/30/25. That page does not spell out a separate per-component fail floor.
Why we still stress balance:

Where can I take the CIPLE exam?
CIPLE is offered at CAPLE-certified centers worldwide — in Portugal and in many countries abroad.
Check caple.letras.ulisboa.pt for exam dates and registration. For step-by-step registration and 2026 dates, see our CIPLE A2 exam dates 2026 guide. Prep2Go shows session dates and registration deadlines when available.
How many words do I need for CIPLE A2?
The exam typically requires approximately 1,000 core words. Prep2Go's vocabulary component helps you build this systematically with high-frequency exam vocabulary.
🇪🇸DELE A2 Specific
What is DELE A2?
DELE A2 (Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera) is the official Spanish A2 certificate issued by Instituto Cervantes.
It's required for:

How many words do I need for DELE A2?
The exam typically requires approximately 800–1,000 core words. Prep2Go's vocabulary component helps you build this systematically with high-frequency exam vocabulary.
🇫🇷DELF Specific
What is DELF?
DELF (Diplôme d'Études en Langue Française) is the official French language certificate issued by France Éducation International. Recognized in 175+ countries including France, Switzerland, Belgium, Monaco, and Luxembourg.
Required level depends on your goal and country: many French titre de séjour situations use A2 or higher depending on permit type; French naturalisation generally requires B2 proof under the rules applying since 1 January 2026 for dossiers under that regime (verify with your préfecture or consulate). Switzerland and Belgium set their own permit and nationality language rules — DELF is often accepted, but thresholds are not automatically the same as in France.
Prep2Go's DELF track is A2-focused exam-style practice (reading, listening, writing, speaking, vocabulary). Use official guidance to confirm whether you need A2, B1, or B2 for your file.
How hard is DELF B2?
Challenging but achievable with structured preparation.
DELF B2 tests upper-intermediate French — complex texts, nuanced writing, and spontaneous oral production. The note éliminatoire (5/25 minimum per section) means you can't compensate a weak section with a strong one.
With 12–16 weeks of focused practice starting from a B1 base, most dedicated students pass.
Where can I take the DELF exam?
DELF is offered at Alliance Française locations and accredited centers worldwide. Check your local Alliance Française or official DELF website for exam dates and registration.
Prep2Go shows session dates and registration deadlines when available.
How many words do I need for DELF?
The exam typically requires approximately 800–1,000 core words. Prep2Go's vocabulary component helps you build this systematically.
🇮🇹CELI Specific
What score do I need to pass CELI 2?
CELI 2 uses separate written and oral blocks, with the published CVCL minimums determining the final result. A simple 70% rule is not correct; check the current CELI 2 scoring table for your session and prepare to clear both blocks.
What is capitalizzazione in CELI 2?
Capitalizzazione is CELI's carry-over mechanism. If you pass one block and fail the other, you can normally preserve the passed block and resit only the failed block within the validity window stated in the current CVCL rules.
Is CELI 2 B1 accepted for Italian citizenship?
CELI 2 certifies B1 Italian and is one of the recognised ways to document the language level commonly required for Italian citizenship. Confirm the exact document and exemption rules for your application route.
Where do I register for CELI 2?
Register through an authorised CELI examination centre. Session dates, local deadlines, and fees vary, so use the Università per Stranieri di Perugia (CVCL) centre list and verify directly with the centre before paying.
What is CELI?
CELI (Certificato di Conoscenza della Lingua Italiana) is issued by Università per Stranieri di Perugia. CELI 1 = A2 (residency). Citizenship requires CELI 2 = B1.
Prep2Go includes both tracks: A2-level preparation and full CELI 2 (B1) content — exam-format practice, vocabulary, and mocks at the level you are sitting.
How hard is CELI?
Manageable with consistent preparation. CELI 1 (A2) tests everyday phrases and structured communication. With 8–12 weeks of structured practice, most dedicated students pass.
Where can I take the CELI exam?
CELI is offered at accredited centers worldwide. Check the University of Perugia calendar for exam dates and registration.
Multiple sessions per year. Prep2Go shows session dates when available.
How many words do I need for CELI 1 or CELI 2?
The exam typically requires approximately 800–1,000 core words for A2 and more for B1. Prep2Go's vocabulary component helps you build this systematically.
🇩🇪DTZ B1 Specific
What is the DTZ B1 exam?
The Deutsch-Test für Zuwanderer (DTZ) is the final language exam used in Germany's integration-course pathway. It tests listening, reading, writing, and speaking and reports an A2 or B1 outcome.
How do I receive a B1 result in DTZ?
DTZ uses combined written and oral performance to determine whether your result is below A2, A2, or B1. You need B1-level performance in the required combinations; confirm the current scoring table with your BAMF course provider before your session.
Can DTZ B1 be used for German residence or naturalisation?
A DTZ result showing B1 is commonly used as recognised German-language proof in residence and naturalisation pathways. Acceptance depends on your procedure and authority, so confirm with your Ausländerbehörde or citizenship office before filing.
Is DTZ the same as Goethe or telc B1?
No. DTZ is a dual-level A2–B1 integration-course exam. Goethe-Zertifikat B1 and telc Deutsch B1 are separate B1 certificates with different task formats. Authorities may accept several recognised certificates, but prepare for the exact exam you booked.
Where do I register for DTZ?
Registration is normally handled through an authorised integration-course or test provider in Germany. Ask your course centre or use BAMF provider information; dates, fees, and eligibility vary by centre.
Does Prep2Go use standard German audio for DTZ practice?
Yes. DTZ listening practice uses standard German (de-DE) audio and exam-style everyday situations. Browse the screen preview before unlocking a timed mock.
🇨🇿CCE A2 Specific
What is the CCE A2 exam?
CCE (Certifikovaná zkouška z češtiny pro cizince) A2 is ÚJOP Charles University’s CEFR A2 Czech certificate. Four subtests: Reading (Čtení), Listening (Poslech), Writing (Psaní), and Speaking (Mluvení).
What score do I need to pass CCE A2?
ÚJOP requires at least 60% overall and at least 60% in every subtest. A strong reading score cannot rescue a failed speaking or writing part.
Is CCE A2 enough for Czech citizenship?
Not for citizenship language equivalence on ÚJOP’s mapping — that starts at CCE B1. ÚJOP states CCE–A2 and higher can satisfy permanent-residence language equivalence. Confirm your MVCR / MOI route before you book.
How much does CCE A2 cost and where do I register?
ÚJOP publishes A2 at 3 500 Kč (verify the live fee table). Apply online via ÚJOP; pay within the published window (FAQ cites 3 days). Cash on exam day is not accepted. Calendar and centres: ujop.cuni.cz.
Does Prep2Go replace the official CCE certificate?
No. Prep2Go is a readiness check — mock walkthrough, skill practice, drills, and a Czech Anki deck. Practice scores are not official ÚJOP certificates.
🇨🇾Ellinomatheia A2 Specific
What is Ellinomatheia A2?
Ellinomatheia is the Centre for the Greek Language (ΚΕΓ) Modern Greek certificate. A2 is the “basic knowledge” level. In Cyprus you sit ΚΕΓ papers through the Ministry of Education Examinations Service — not a separate Cyprus-only Greek test.
Is Ellinomatheia A2 enough for Cypriot citizenship?
Usually no on the standard Form M127 route, which requires B1 Greek plus the separate political and social reality exam. Some high-skilled tracks may accept A2 under different rules — confirm on gov.cy for your pathway.
How does Prep2Go score Ellinomatheia practice?
Prep2Go uses a practice-readiness line of about 60% per skill for timed feedback. That is not an official ΚΕΓ result — confirm current ΚΕΓ pass rules in the candidate booklet for your session before booking.
Where do I register for Ellinomatheia in Cyprus?
Follow MoESY / Examinations Service dates and the ΚΕΓ application flow for your sitting (Cyprus centre code is published with the session). Fees and oral schedules are centre-specific — use official portals, not blog summaries.
Does Prep2Go replace the official Ellinomatheia certificate?
No. Use the free mock walkthrough, skill practice, drills, and the Greek Anki deck to check readiness. Only ΚΕΓ issues the certificate.
🇳🇱Inburgering A2 Specific
What is the Dutch A2 Inburgering language exam?
Eligible civic-integration routes use DUO language modules: Lezen, Luisteren, Schrijven, and Spreken. Prep2Go covers those four components with Netherlands Dutch audio. KNM and other route requirements are separate.
Is everyone on Wet inburgering 2021 on the A2 track?
No. Many Wi2021 candidates aim at B1. A municipality may approve scale-down to A2 under the applicable conditions — your PIP / Mijn Inburgering is authoritative.
What does Prep2Go’s 60% line mean for Inburgering?
DUO reports every language component separately. Prep2Go’s 60% line is a practice-readiness target, not an official combined DUO result.
Where do I check my official Inburgering route?
Start in Mijn Inburgering (DUO). Confirm whether A2 language modules apply to you before you buy a mock pack or book a seat.
