The selection procedures organised by the European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) include a series of tests designed to assess the key competencies required to work in the EU institutions. All candidates sit their tests on the same date and time, as specified in each candidate’s invitation.

This page provides sample tests to help you familiarise yourself with the test formats.
Please note that these examples are not training materials. EPSO does not offer preparatory courses or endorse any external publications or training services.

For more information on the competencies assessed, please consult the General Competency Framework.

Some EU Member States may offer support or training for candidates. To find out whether your country offers such opportunities, please contact the relevant authorities directly. Their details are available in the dedicated contact list.

Important:
Before your test, carefully review the technical requirements and general recommendations for online testing.
Failure to meet these requirements may prevent you from completing your test.
