EPSO tests
EPSO competitions and selection procedures consist of a series of tests designed to evaluate both general and specific competencies.
The Notice of Competition is the only official document providing detailed information about the exact tests used by EPSO for each competition. All Notices are published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This page offers examples of tests that may be used by EPSO to help prospective candidates become familiar with their format and content. However, it is not intended as a training resource to prepare candidates for passing the selection tests, as this falls outside EPSO’s mandate.
Please note that candidates are no longer required to book their testing window in advance. Instead, all candidates are invited to take their tests simultaneously at the date and time specified in their invitation.
We also encourage you to consult EPSO’s general competency framework for more information on the competencies deemed essential for effective performance in the roles offered by the EU institutions and bodies served by EPSO. Some competencies are assessed during the selection phase by EPSO, while others are evaluated by the respective institutions during the recruitment process.
