FIDE test sample papers designed by language trainers for FIDE students
Prepare for the FIDE test with confidence using authentic practice materials designed by experienced language trainers. These sample papers mirror real test situations and are used by hundreds of learners across Switzerland.
FIDE test practice materials based on official FIDE guidelines
Getting ready for the FIDE exam means building practical skills in speaking, listening, reading, and writing — so you can approach the test with confidence.
Train with materials built by FIDE tutors to match the official FIDE test structure, themes, and difficulty level. Each paper follows the official situation guide and reflects the A2 and B1 speaking criteria, so you’re training with the kind of questions you’ll face on test day.
Sharpen your speaking (“Parler”) and boost your comprehension (“Comprendre”) with practical, everyday situations. Each model test helps you master real-life vocabulary, build fluency in French conversation, and feel more prepared with every session.
These same materials are used in our FIDE prep courses, and now you can use them on your own or between lessons to stay on track and feel ready.
