🔥 New this week

🧭 New home page. Clear at first glance: 1 — mock exam, 2 — practice, 3 — lessons. Every button opens its section with one tap.
▶ YouTube channel Zkouška A2 nanečisto. New Mluvení and Psaní videos every day, with the same voices and subtitles in Ukrainian, Russian, English and Vietnamese.
✅ Fixes in the dialogues. The examiner now speaks in the feminine form (byla jsem, mám ráda), as in the real exam.

💡 A2 exam tips

A short guide to what really helps you pass: from registration to the last minute of Mluvení.

🏛 official source · 👥 candidates’ experience · no icon: tips from this trainer

⭐ The essentials in one minute

Mluvení is worth 40 of 110 points, and each part must be passed separately: written at least 42 of 70, oral at least 24 of 40. Speak out loud every day.
An e-mail shorter than 35 words gets 0 points. Count your words.
Don’t leave blank answers in Čtení and Poslech: a blank always scores 0.
Each Poslech recording is played twice, and you get time to read the questions first. Use that time.
Don’t understand the examiner? Ask them to repeat, in Czech. Silence costs more than a mistake.

📅 Registration and logistics

🏛 You can register online or in person at one of the certified schools listed on the official website. The fee of 3,200 CZK must reach the school at least 8 days before the exam.
👥 In big cities dates are often booked up well ahead. Smaller towns often have a free place sooner, so compare several schools.
🏛 After you register, the school e-mails you the time, place and payment details. Check your spam folder too. You must sign the application in person at the school: make sure your name is spelled exactly as in your passport.
🏛 You can cancel no later than 15 days before. After that only for illness or another serious reason with proof, and then you don’t lose the attempt.
🏛 The Ministry of the Interior advises registering for the exam before you apply for permanent residence. Results arrive by e-mail or SMS in about 9 days; the certificate never expires.

🎒 Exam day

Bring the ID you gave in your application (usually your passport) and two pens. Arrive 15–20 minutes early.
🏛 The exam takes one day: the written part lasts almost 2 hours (Čtení, Psaní, Poslech), the oral part about 15 minutes.
Switch your phone off before it starts: phones and dictionaries are not allowed.
Bring water and a snack. There may be a break between the written and oral parts, and tiredness causes extra pauses in Mluvení.

✏️ How to correct a mistake in the exam

🏛 Only the answer sheet (odpovědní list) is marked. The task booklet is not checked: you can underline and make notes there, but every answer must be transferred to the sheet.
🏛 You write with the pen the examiner gives you, so you cannot erase anything. Corrections are made only as shown below.
🏛 In Čtení the examiner warns you 5 minutes before the end that all answers must be on the sheet. Keep those minutes for transferring and checking.

Crosses: Čtení and Poslech

6ABCD

1. Answer. One clear cross (X) per row, inside the box.

6ABCD

2. Changed your mind. Fill the wrong box in completely and put the cross in the new one.

6ABCDB

3. Blacked out the right one by mistake. Write the correct letter next to the row, B in this example.

6ABCD

Don’t do this. Two crosses in one row count as a wrong answer, even if one of them is correct.

Words and texts

🏛 Cross out a wrong word or number with one line and write the correct one next to it. Don’t scribble it out or write over it.
Same in Psaní: cross out a wrong word with one line and keep writing. Don’t rewrite the whole text. What matters is that the examiner can easily read what you meant.
Write in print or very clear letters, with háčky and čárky. An illegible word may not be counted.

Úloha 5 (Čtení i Poslech)

V neděli je parkování ~~placené~~ zdarma.

Psaní

Ahoj Petře, v ~~pátek~~ sobotu mám narozeniny…

Speaking: Mluvení

In Mluvení you can simply correct a mistake out loud; it is a normal part of conversation: Promiňte, chtěl/a jsem říct… · Ne, pardon, v sobotu, ne v pátek. · Spletl/a jsem se, myslím…
Don’t stop for long over one mistake. Correct yourself in one sentence and keep talking: the examiner judges whether you can communicate, and silence costs more.

Source of the rules: NPI ČR study material «Zkouška z češtiny pro trvalý pobyt v ČR, úroveň A2» (2025), section on the answer sheet. The answer sheet in the exam has its own filled-in example: if it differs, follow it.

📖 Čtení · 40 min · 25 points

Questions first, then the text. That way you look for something specific instead of translating everything.
Don’t get stuck: 5 tasks in 40 minutes is about 8 minutes each. Mark the hard ones and come back at the end.
Traps: numbers, days and times. The text has several, and the right one is the one about exactly what is asked.
Don’t leave blanks: a blank always scores 0, a guess gives you a chance.
In the last task, copy the word from the text with all its háčky and čárky.

✍️ Psaní · 25 min · 20 points

An e-mail shorter than 35 words gets 0 points. It is the most expensive mistake in the exam, so count your words.
🏛 Since 2026 writing is more interactive: you reply to specific questions and to a message. Answer every point and skip nothing.
The form: at least 10 words per question, in full sentences. A simple formula: answer + protože + reason.
E-mail: greeting, purpose of the message, one sentence per picture, sign-off and name. For example: Ahoj Petře, … Měj se, Olena.
Write simple sentences you are sure of. Two short correct sentences beat one long sentence with three mistakes.
Leave 3 minutes to check: word count, a verb in every sentence, háčky and čárky.

🎧 Poslech · ~40 min · 25 points

🏛 Each recording is played twice, and you get time to read the task first. Underline the key words: when? how much? where?
First listening to answer, second to check.
Listen to the end: often one option is said first and then the person changes their mind (ale, tak radši, ne… ale).
Missed an answer? Mark the most likely one and keep listening, the recording won’t wait.
Practise hearing numbers, times, days and prices: they appear in almost every task.

🗣 Mluvení · 15 min · 40 points

🏛 This is the main part. What counts is whether you can make yourself understood in everyday situations; grammar matters less.
🏛 The new format expects more initiative: ask your own questions, make suggestions, react (A vy? A co v sobotu?).
👥 The examiner may start with simple personal questions: work, family, favourite food, breakfast, pets. Prepare a one-minute talk about yourself.
Story from pictures: who it is, where they are, what they do, what happened next. The most common trap here is the past tense.
In the arrangement task, reach a joint decision and confirm it: Dobře, tak v sobotu v deset.
Speak slowly and clearly: pronunciation affects the score too. Silence costs more than a mistake.

🆘 Lifesaver phrases for Mluvení

Promiňte, můžete to zopakovat?Sorry, could you repeat that?Mluvte pomaleji, prosím.Please speak more slowly.Nerozumím slovu… Co to znamená?I don’t understand the word… What does it mean?Moment, musím přemýšlet.One moment, I need to think.Nevím, jak se to řekne česky, ale…I don’t know how to say it in Czech, but…Myslíte…?Do you mean…?

🗓 How to prepare

🏛 The official website recommends a course of at least 50 hours, or self-study with the online materials. Free courses are offered by the Centres for Support of Integration of Foreigners in every region.
Take the official practice test in the new format at least once.
Plan for the last 2 weeks: a full exam in «Exam» mode to find your weakest part; then 20–30 minutes a day practising that part; 2–3 days before the exam, one more full exam.
Speak out loud every day: record yourself on your phone and listen back. Pauses and mistakes become obvious at once.
The day before, don’t cram anything new. Review the lifesaver phrases and the e-mail template, and get a good night’s sleep.
