Sample questions from the serbian test
Real items from the test bank — one per level band. The full test adapts from A1 to C1.
In the test you hear this as audio
A: Dobar dan, izvolite, šta želite? B: Jednu belu kafu, molim. Imate li i kroasane? A: Kroasana nažalost nema, ali imamo sveže krofne. B: Dobro, onda kafu i dve krofne.
Šta na kraju naručuje mušterija?
- 1Kafu i kroasane
- 2Samo kafu
- 3Kafu i krofne
- 4Čaj i krofne
Show answer
Correct: Kafu i krofne
The customer asks for a croissant, the waiter says there are none ("kroasana nema") but offers fresh doughnuts, so she ends up with coffee and doughnuts. Q2 distractors (dislike / price / original preference) are never stated — the only reason is that croissants have run out.

A: Dobar dan, došao sam da vratim ovu košulju. Mala mi je, a kupio sam je pre dva dana. B: Zamena nije problem, ali novac mogu da vratim samo ako je plaćeno karticom. Ovo je plaćeno gotovinom. A: Razumem, ali ne želim drugi broj, prosto mi se ne dopada. B: Onda vam mogu napisati priznanicu za taj iznos, pa je iskoristite kad god hoćete. To je jedino što mogu da ponudim.
Šta je kupac prvobitno želeo?
- 1Da zameni košulju za drugi broj
- 2Da mu vrate novac
- 3Da kupi još jednu košulju
- 4Da se požali na kvalitet robe
Show answer
Correct: Da mu vrate novac
The male customer wants cash back, but refunds are possible only on card payments and this was cash; he refuses an exchange, so the female clerk offers a store-credit voucher ("priznanica"). The cash-refund and card-refund options are exactly what is ruled out, and a size exchange is what he declined.

A: Vidim da će na kraju obnoviti staru pijacu umesto da je sruše. Bar su jednom pogodili, rekao bih. B: Pa, zavisi za šta. Ako je pretvore u još jedan tržni centar sa starom fasadom kao ukrasom, radije bih da je sruše. A: Nemoj da budeš toliki pesimista. U projektu piše da će to biti kulturni prostor, sa bibliotekom i salama za udruženja iz kraja. B: To uvek pišu po brošurama. Ja ću u to da poverujem onog dana kad vidim otvorena vrata, a ne ogradu sa logom neke građevinske firme.
Zašto B ne deli oduševljenje govornika A?
- 1Smatra da zgradu uvek treba srušiti
- 2Sumnja da će obećana namena zaista biti ispunjena
- 3Misli da je obnova preskupa
- 4Više voli tržni centar nego kulturni prostor
Show answer
Correct: Sumnja da će obećana namena zaista biti ispunjena
B is not against restoration as such; the worry is that the promised cultural use will not materialise (a mall behind a heritage façade). Her closing line — believing it only when she sees the doors open — signals scepticism toward official promises, not indifference or outright rejection. Speakers are referred to by letter (A/B), so no gendered role noun clashes with the voices.

Methodology
This Serbian listening test contains 15 items (3 at A1, 3 at A2, 3 at B1, 3 at B2, 3 at C1), ordered from A1 to C1 and drawn from the same item bank used inside the Lenguia study-plan product.
Scoring uses a pass-threshold model: each CEFR level is "passed" when you earn roughly two-thirds of its available points, and your result is the highest level you pass consecutively starting from A1. This rewards consistent competence rather than lucky guesses. Results range from A1 to C1 (the test does not grade C2).
The items are informed by the competency descriptors of the Council of Europe CEFR framework. This is a free self-assessment: results are a reliable orientation, not a certified proficiency measurement.
The competency descriptors follow the Council of Europe CEFR framework.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is this Serbian listening test?
It uses the same item bank and pass-threshold scoring as the placement engine inside Lenguia's study-plan product, so the CEFR estimate is consistent and repeatable. Like any online self-assessment it is an orientation, not an official certificate.
Is it really free? Do I need an account?
Yes — the full test, the result and the shareable certificate are free, with no signup. If you create an account afterwards, your result can be used to build a personalized study plan.
What levels can I get?
A1, A2, B1, B2 or C1. A level counts as reached when you earn roughly two-thirds of its points and have passed every level below it. C2 is not graded.
Can I retake the test?
Yes, as often as you like. Questions within each level are shuffled, and your latest result replaces the previous one on this device.
