What to train
After 2026, writing and spoken reactions matter especially: not just knowing words, but being able to write a short message, make a request, explain a reason, ask again and answer in simple phrases.
How to prepare
Take a practice test, mark your weak parts in a study plan, train writing and speaking separately, and before you register, check the date, price and rules on the official portal.
