Sample Questions
Listening Sample

Reading Sample
Thông báo dán trên cửa nhà hàng:
"Nhà hàng mở cửa từ 10 giờ sáng đến 9 giờ tối, từ thứ Ba đến Chủ Nhật. Thứ Hai nghỉ. Đặt bàn trước qua điện thoại: 028-1234-5678."
Question: When is the restaurant closed?
- A. On Sunday
- B. On Monday
- C. On Tuesday
Answer
Answer: B. On Monday Explanation: The notice states "Thứ Hai nghỉ" — the restaurant is closed (nghỉ) on Monday (Thứ Hai). It is open from Tuesday (Thứ Ba) through Sunday (Chủ Nhật).
Writing Sample
Choose the correct classifier to complete the sentence:
Trên bàn có ba _____ sách và hai _____ bút.
- A. cái — con
- B. cuốn — cái
- C. con — cái
Answer
Answer: B. cuốn — cái Explanation: "Cuốn" is the correct classifier for books (sách), and "cái" is used for general objects like pens (bút). Option A is wrong because "con" is reserved for animals and some specific objects; Option C places "con" before books, which is incorrect.
Study Tips
- Work through all three practice tests in sequence and compare scores across sittings to measure real improvement
- For listening, shadow the dialogues aloud — repeat each line immediately after to train comprehension and pronunciation at the same time
- When reviewing reading errors, identify whether the mistake was vocabulary or grammar, as each requires a different study strategy
- Build a personal vocabulary list from questions you got wrong — words missed in practice are likely to recur in similar forms on the real exam
- Drill classifiers (cái, con, cuốn, chiếc, người) until selecting the right one is instinctive — classifier errors are common at A2 but easy to eliminate with focused practice
- For the speaking section, prepare a flexible self-introduction covering name, nationality, occupation, hobbies, and your reason for learning Vietnamese
