Official EPSO sample questions
Every reasoning question EPSO publishes itself — 66 of them — in one place, with EPSO’s own answer key. Not a reconstruction and not a question bank: the published items themselves.
EPSO publishes far fewer sample questions than the prep market implies. Sweep the EU Careers site, the interactive packages behind it and the accessible-version PDFs, and what survives de-duplication is a small, finite set. It is reproduced below in full.
An item is here only if EPSO publishes it — on eu-careers.europa.eu or in an EPSO PDF linked from it. Every key is EPSO’s own, cross-checked against a second EPSO publication where one exists. Commercial question banks sold as “the real EPSO tests” are excluded, because none of them trace back to an EPSO publication.
Retired material is left out for the same reason: the frozen europa.eu/epso booklet and the Prometric-era demo still resolve, but nothing live links to them and their format no longer matches the test you will sit.
Every question below is reproduced in the language EPSO published it in, so that it stays a faithful copy rather than a translation. Where EPSO published an item only in another official language, that original is shown beside our rendering.
Where this comes from
Everything above was collected from EPSO’s own pages and PDFs, in every language edition they are served in, then de-duplicated by passage. Keys are EPSO’s; the reading notes are ours. If EPSO changes a sample test, this page changes with it.
Sixty-six questions is not a practice set — it is barely one sitting. Our own questions are built to the same specifications and are described in how our questions are made, and you can sit a timed one at the free mock exam.
