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: Anh ơi, anh muốn uống gì ạ? B: Cho anh một cốc cà phê sữa. Ở đây có bánh mì không em? A: Dạ bánh mì hết rồi ạ, nhưng còn bánh ngọt mới ra lò. B: Vậy thì cho anh cà phê với hai cái bánh ngọt nhé.
Cuối cùng người khách gọi những gì?
- 1Cà phê và bánh mì
- 2Chỉ cà phê thôi
- 3Cà phê và bánh ngọt
- 4Trà và bánh ngọt
Show answer
Correct: Cà phê và bánh ngọt
The customer asks for bread, the server says it is sold out ("bánh mì hết rồi") but offers fresh pastries, so he ends up with coffee and pastries. Q2 distractors (dislike / price / original preference) are never stated — the only reason is that the bread has run out. The female-voiced server addresses the male-voiced customer as "anh", agreeing with the voices.

A: Em ơi, anh muốn trả lại cái áo này. Anh mặc chật quá, mà anh mới mua hôm kia. B: Dạ đổi áo thì không sao ạ, nhưng tiền thì bên em chỉ hoàn được nếu anh thanh toán bằng thẻ. Cái này anh trả tiền mặt. A: Anh hiểu, nhưng anh không muốn lấy size khác, anh không thích kiểu này nữa. B: Vậy em xin phép ghi cho anh một phiếu mua hàng đúng số tiền đó, anh dùng lúc nào cũng được. Bên em chỉ làm được như vậy thôi ạ.
Ban đầu người khách muốn gì?
- 1Đổi áo sang size khác
- 2Được hoàn lại tiền
- 3Mua thêm một chiếc áo nữa
- 4Khiếu nại về chất lượng hàng
Show answer
Correct: Được hoàn lại tiền
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 staff member offers a store-credit voucher ("phiếu mua hàng"). The cash-refund and card-refund options are exactly what is ruled out, and a size exchange is what he declined. The male customer calls himself "anh" and the female staff says "em", matching the voices.
In the test you hear this as audio
A: Nghe nói cuối cùng người ta sẽ trùng tu cái chợ cũ chứ không đập đi. Lần này thì làm đúng rồi đấy. B: Ừ thì còn tùy. Nếu họ biến nó thành một trung tâm thương mại nữa, chỉ giữ cái mặt tiền cũ làm cảnh, thì tôi thà họ đập đi còn hơn. A: Đừng bi quan thế. Trong dự án ghi rõ đó sẽ là không gian văn hóa, có thư viện với phòng sinh hoạt cho các hội nhóm trong khu. B: Thì brochure nào chẳng viết vậy. Tôi chỉ tin vào ngày tôi thấy cửa mở cho dân vào, chứ không phải cái hàng rào in logo của một công ty xây dựng.
Vì sao người B không hào hứng như người A?
- 1Vì cho rằng công trình này luôn nên bị phá bỏ
- 2Vì nghi ngờ công năng đã hứa sẽ không thực sự được thực hiện
- 3Vì thấy việc trùng tu quá tốn kém
- 4Vì thích trung tâm thương mại hơn không gian văn hóa
Show answer
Correct: Vì nghi ngờ công năng đã hứa sẽ không thực sự được thực hiện
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 to the public — signals scepticism toward official promises, not indifference or outright rejection. The speakers address each other neutrally, so no gendered role noun clashes with the voices.

Methodology
This Vietnamese 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 Vietnamese 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.
