Sample questions from the turkish 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: Merhaba, buyurun, ne istemiştiniz? B: Merhaba. Bir tane tam buğday ekmeği alabilir miyim? A: Tam buğday maalesef bitti, sadece beyaz ekmek kaldı, o da taze. B: Olsun, o zaman bir beyaz ekmek ile bir şişe süt verin lütfen.
Müşteri sonunda ne satın alıyor?
- 1Tam buğday ekmeği ile süt
- 2Beyaz ekmek ile süt
- 3Sadece tam buğday ekmeği
- 4Beyaz ekmek ile meyve suyu
Show answer
Correct: Beyaz ekmek ile süt
The customer asks for whole-wheat bread, the seller says it has run out ("bitti") and offers fresh white bread instead, so he ends up with white bread and milk. Q2 distractors (price / dislike / staleness) are never stated — the only reason is that it is sold out. "müşteri" and "satıcı" are gender-neutral, so the male voice for B and female voice for A raise no agreement issue.

A: İyi günler. Bu gömleği iade etmek istiyorum, bana küçük geldi ve param geri gelsin istiyorum. B: Değişim hiç sorun değil, başka beden verebilirim. Ama para iadesini sadece kartınıza yapabilirim, siz nakit ödemişsiniz. A: Evet ama başka beden de istemiyorum aslında, gömleği pek beğenmedim. B: O hâlde size bu tutarda bir hediye çeki çıkarayım, istediğiniz zaman harcarsınız. Elimden başka bir şey gelmiyor maalesef.
Müşteri başta ne istiyordu?
- 1Parasını geri almak
- 2Gömleği başka bedenle değiştirmek
- 3İkinci bir gömlek satın almak
- 4Ürünün kalitesinden şikâyet etmek
Show answer
Correct: Parasını geri almak
The customer wants his money back, but refunds are only possible to a card and he paid in cash; he refuses an exchange, so the seller offers a gift voucher ("hediye çeki"). The cash-refund, card-refund and size-exchange options are exactly what is ruled out. "müşteri" and "satıcı" are gender-neutral, so the male/female voices raise no agreement issue.
In the test you hear this as audio
A: Baktım, eski hali yıkmak yerine sonunda restore etmeye karar vermişler. Bir kere olsun adam gibi bir iş yapmışlar diyeceğim. B: Eh, ne yapacaklarına bağlı Murat. Yine sıradan bir alışveriş merkezi olur, eski cephe de sadece süs olarak kalırsa, bence yıksınlar daha iyi. A: Karamsarlık yapma Selin. Projede kültür merkezi diyor; kütüphanesi, mahalleye açık salonları olacakmış. B: Her broşürde böyle yazar zaten. Ben kapıların açıldığını, müteahhidin logolu çitini değil, gerçekten gördüğüm gün inanırım ancak.
Selin neden Murat'ın heyecanını paylaşmıyor?
- 1Binanın her hâlükârda yıkılması gerektiğini düşündüğü için
- 2Vadedilen kültürel kullanımın gerçekten hayata geçeceğinden şüphe duyduğu için
- 3Restorasyonu çok pahalı bulduğu için
- 4Kültür merkezi yerine dükkânları tercih ettiği için
Show answer
Correct: Vadedilen kültürel kullanımın gerçekten hayata geçeceğinden şüphe duyduğu için
Selin (female voice) is not against restoration per se; her worry is that the promised cultural use won't materialise (a mall behind a heritage façade). Her closing line "kapıların açıldığını gerçekten gördüğüm gün inanırım" signals scepticism toward official promises, not indifference or outright rejection. "Selin" matches B's female voice, "Murat" matches A's male voice.

Methodology
This Turkish 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 Turkish 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.
