French A2 exam — practice tests and exercises
Each pack is a set of exercises covering listening comprehension, reading comprehension, written expression and oral expression — the four skills behind the A2 level required for a first carte de séjour pluriannuelle since 1 January 2026. Free, in your browser, with AI grading for writing and speaking.
ⓘ Our comprehension exercises are in the TCF IRN format — what format are your exercises in? (other formats are explained in our FAQ). They are generated with the help of artificial intelligence and reviewed by us (). We are an independent project with no affiliation to any examination body, and this site replaces neither a teacher nor a French course — see our Terms of Use.
Pack 1
19 exercises · the 4 épreuves + the civic exam
Pack 2
19 exercises · the 4 épreuves + the civic exam
What the pack contains
The pack follows the four épreuves: listening comprehension, reading comprehension, written expression and oral expression. Everything runs online in the browser — nothing to print, no account to create.
Multiple-choice questions are checked instantly. Writing and speaking are assessed by an artificial intelligence: you get comments, a list of your mistakes and a model answer. It is neither an official score nor an official level.
How to use it
The simplest way is to sit the whole pack once and find the épreuve that gives you trouble, then come back to it in the practice sections — photo description, speaking and writing each have their own AI-graded exercises.
The pack also contains a full examen civique: 40 multiple-choice questions, as on the day. The official exam requires 32 correct answers out of 40, and you may retake it as often as you need.
Common questions
Are the tests free?
Yes. The pack, the civic exam and the AI grading all work without payment and without signing up — on the AI-graded tasks you only confirm that you are not a bot.
Do the exercises come with answers?
Yes. Multiple-choice questions are checked automatically and show the correct answer; your written and spoken answers get an AI evaluation together with a model answer.
Are these real past papers?
No. These are our own exercises, in the format and at the level of the TCF IRN. For the civic exam, some of the question stems come from the official list of knowledge questions published by the Ministère de l’Intérieur under licence Etalab 2.0; the answer options are ours.
