Sealed EPSO practice tests · 2026
Your exam, before the exam. Practise, repeat, pass.
An EPSO practice test that is the whole exam: questions for every block in the competition notice, with the official minutes for each test, in the interface EPSO uses. When you finish you know your score, which blocks clear the official pass mark, and where your time went.
What each test measures
All tests →

Reasoning
Reasoning does not ask what you know: it measures how fast you read, calculate and spot patterns with the clock running.


EU knowledge
It is not a history test: it asks who does what in the Union and how decisions are taken.


Digital skills
It measures actual handling, not computing theory: it follows the European DigComp framework — using tools, working with data, communicating and staying safe.


Field test
It is the only test that asks about your field: law, ICT, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence or whatever the notice sets.


Essay (EUFTE)
There is nothing to tick: there is a file and a brief, and you hand in a text.


Cognitive reasoning
The internal competitions do not use the EPSO platform or its format: the test is SHL-style, and in it you do not choose between A and E, you build the answer.


EU knowledge
It shares its name with the open-competition test and is not the same: the number of minutes changes and the internal workings of the house come in, not just the Union in general.

All guides →Before you buy
- How long do I have to take it?
- As long as you like: it does not expire until you start it. Once started, each test runs without stopping, as at EPSO. In reasoning, you start each of its three tests whenever you like and in any order.
- What does “sealed exam” mean?
- A fixed set of questions in a fixed order, identical for everyone who sits it. That is what lets you compare your score from one attempt to the next: with random questions you would not know whether you improved or just got easier ones.
- And if I fail?
- The exam is a measurement, not a promise. It tells you where you stand and which sections you cleared, with the official pass thresholds. Only 11.6% pass EPSO on the first attempt: knowing your weak section beforehand is the point.
- Will I get repeated questions?
- Never, as long as you buy with the same email: no question you have already seen comes back, in any exam you take with us.
Who is charging you
What you can check before you pay.
We do not invent the formats
Questions, blocks and minutes come from the official notice published in the Official Journal, with a link and a date on every exam. If EPSO changes the format, it changes here.
Nor the screen
TAO is the platform EPSO examines on, and it is open source. The colours, the typeface and the measurements of this screen are taken from its repository, not from a screenshot.
No subscription
You pay for one attempt and that is the end of it. Nothing renews, there is nothing to cancel, and your card never passes through us.
