Who is selling

EPSOmetro (epsometro.com) is the service that sells you these tests. The company behind it is being incorporated in Belgium; its enterprise number (CBE) and VAT number will be published here as soon as they are assigned. Contact: contact@epsometro.com.

EPSOmetro is not affiliated with the European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) or with any institution of the European Union.

What you are buying

One or more simulated exam tests, single or in a pack. Each test gives access to a sealed exam —a fixed set of questions in a fixed order— and to the report produced when you finish it. The format reproduces that of the corresponding official notice, with a link and a date on every exam. We do not sell coaching, tutoring, or any form of access to EPSO’s real questions.

Price and payment

Prices include VAT and are shown before you pay. Payment is processed by Stripe; EPSOmetro never sees or stores your card details. There is no subscription: you pay for the attempts you buy and nothing renews.

When the service is delivered

Access is activated the moment payment is confirmed, with no waiting, and from that instant the service is delivered. A test you have bought does not expire until you start it. Once started, its clock runs without stopping, as at EPSO, even if you close the window; when its time is up, what you have answered is scored. In reasoning, each of its three tests is started separately, whenever you like and in any order, unless you choose real mode, which runs them back to back. In complete exams, you have up to one hour of breaks in total between one test and the next.

Right of withdrawal

What you buy is digital content delivered on the spot. By ticking the box before paying, you expressly ask for performance to begin within the withdrawal period and acknowledge that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal. The access email confirms that consent in writing.

That is why there are no refunds once access is activated. This is the exception provided for in Article 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU and Article VI.53, 13°, of the Belgian Code of Economic Law.

If something goes wrong

If a test cannot be completed because of a fault on our side, we give it back: you get the credit again to take it once more. That is not a refund: it is delivering the service you already paid for.

Use of the exam

Exams are sealed and their value depends on everyone sitting them under the same conditions. Questions may not be copied, recorded, published or shared. An attempt is for one person. A breach may void the attempt and the access, without refund.

Data

We process only the data needed to provide the service: your email, your exams, the events recorded during the exam and the record of your acceptance of these terms. Full details are in the privacy policy.

Governing law

These terms are governed by Belgian law. If you buy as a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory rules of your country of residence, and you may bring a claim before the courts where you live.

Contact and complaints

Write to contact@epsometro.com and a person will answer.

If you are not satisfied, you can turn, free of charge, to the Belgian Consumer Mediation Service (consumerombudsman.be · contact@mediationconsommateur.be), which handles complaints in French, Dutch, German and English. If you live in another EU country, the European Consumer Centre in your country can help with cross-border complaints.

Secure payment with Stripe, by card or Apple Pay. No account needed: your access arrives by email.

Saturday’s screen: TAO’s, with its calculator, its review flag and its timer.

Why sit it on Saturday

01

The exam screen, before the exam

EPSO won’t let you try TAO before your test. Here it is, identical: the same layout, the on-screen calculator, the review flag and that small timer people forget to check. On the day, nothing will be new.

02

All three tests back to back, like the real day

20 verbal questions in 35 minutes, 10 numerical in 20 and 10 abstract in 10, with no breaks. That is what practising one test at a time doesn’t train: holding 65 minutes of focus and pacing yourself.

03

Your rank, not just your score

In AD5, verbal reasoning counts for 35% of the final score: passing it is not enough. With one exam for everyone, you’ll know where you rank, how many pass the minimum mark and how many you’re tied with.

04

40 questions nobody has seen

Written for this day and never served in any other EPSOmetro exam. Nobody arrives knowing them: the ranking measures how you reason, not what you remember.

05

The pass mark, straight away

As soon as you finish you see whether you pass: 10 out of 20 in verbal and 10 out of 20 across numerical and abstract, the official AD5 2026 minimum marks.

06

Every answer explained

The next day at 10:00 the full correction opens: your answer, the right one and why. Not before, so nobody can pass the answers to someone who hasn’t started yet.

The exam

The format of the AD5 2026 reasoning tests (EPSO/AD/427/26), with their timings and minimum marks.

How to get in on Saturday

Five things. We also send them in your confirmation email.

  1. 1

    Go to epsometro.com/entrar and enter the email you paid with. You’ll get a sign-in link: there is no password.

  2. 2

    Your place is in “My exams”: press “Open”. The exam can be started from 00:00 on Saturday, Brussels time.

  3. 3

    Set aside 70 uninterrupted minutes and use a computer with an up-to-date Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari: that’s how you’ll sit the real exam.

  4. 4

    The exam runs in full screen. If you leave it more than three times, your attempt doesn’t count in the ranking (you’ll still see your score and where you would have placed).

  5. 5

    Lost your connection? Sign in again and carry on where you left off. The clock doesn’t stop, just like in TAO.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account?

No. You pay with your email and that email is your account: you use it to get in on Saturday, with no password. If you already use EPSOmetro, pay with the same address and the place will appear next to your tests.

What time is it in my country?

From 00:00 to 24:00 Brussels time. In Lisbon and Dublin, from 23:00 on Friday to 23:00 on Saturday; in Athens, Bucharest, Helsinki, Sofia and the Baltic states, from 01:00 on Saturday to 01:00 on Sunday.

What if I can’t make it on Saturday?

The place is for that day: the exam is the same for everyone and closes at 24:00. That’s why it’s open all day, so you can start whenever suits you.

Which language is it in?

The language the site is in when you start: English, Spanish, French, German or Italian. Change it at the top, in the language menu.

Can I take it more than once?

No: one place, one attempt. That’s what makes the ranking fair.

Does my discount code work?

Yes, codes from partner groups such as Generation 2004: enter it when you book. The launch promotion doesn’t apply to this edition.

Is this an official EPSO exam?

No. It’s an independent mock exam with the official AD5 format, timings and minimum marks. EPSOmetro is not affiliated with the European Personnel Selection Office.

500 places. One day. The same exam for everyone.
