The exam in numbers
Source: CSDTJ, University of Ljubljana. Checked October 25, 2026.The Slovene on this page is not yet checked by a Slovene teacher.
Which level do you need?
- Permanent residence: A2.What the permit asks for, who the law exempts, and the proposed change.
- Citizenship: check your route.Each route has its own conditions. See where to check yours.
- A1 is not enough.An A1 certificate does not count for permanent residence or for citizenship.
A proposed change to the law would raise the level for permanent residence to B114. It is a proposal, not the law.
How it works
Learn in short units.
Each unit teaches what the exam asks at A2, with grammar explained for English speakers.
Practise like the exam.
Type and say your answers. Feedback is written in advance, never generated on the spot.
Check where you stand.
Take mock exams for an estimate of where you stand in each part, against its pass line.
Every part passes on its own.
To pass at A2 you need at least 60%710 in every part of the exam, each on its own. A strong part cannot make up for a weak one.
The app's mock exams give you an estimate of each part against its lines, from your own results. It is an estimate, not a promise of your exam result.
| Part | Points | Minutes | A2 line | B1 line |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Poslušanje (Listening) | 25 | 25 | 15 of 25 | 22 of 25 |
| Branje (Reading) | 25 | 40 | 15 of 25 | 22 of 25 |
| Pisanje (Writing) | 20 | 40 | 12 of 20 | 17 of 20 |
| Govorjenje (Speaking) | 20 | 15 | 12 of 20 | 17 of 20 |
