Read the passage
“Zdravo, ja sam Milica. Imam dvadeset tri godine i iz Niša sam. Sada živim u Beogradu sa sestrom i jednim mačkom. Učim nemački jezik u maloj školi blizu stana. Volim da čitam knjige i slušam muziku.”
Koja rečenica najbolje opisuje Milicin život?
- 1Stanuje sama u rodnom gradu i nema kućne ljubimce
- 2Deli stan sa rođakom i životinjom, a uči strani jezik nedaleko od kuće
- 3Predaje nemački u jednoj beogradskoj školi
- 4Ne zanimaju je ni knjige ni muzika
Show answer
Correct: Deli stan sa rođakom i životinjom, a uči strani jezik nedaleko od kuće
She lives with her sister and a cat, studies German near home, and enjoys reading and music — so she shares the flat with a relative and an animal and learns a foreign language nearby.

“Izveštaj jednog beogradskog instituta pokazuje da je broj studenata koji rade dok studiraju porastao za skoro polovinu u poslednjih pet godina. Stručnjaci tvrde da je glavni razlog poskupljenje života u velikim gradovima: kirija i svakodnevni troškovi rastu brže od prihoda porodica, pa mnogi mladi traže honorarni posao da bi se izdržavali. Profesori ipak upozoravaju da spajanje posla i studija često ostavlja manje vremena za učenje i da ocene zbog toga mogu da padnu.”
Prema izveštaju, rad uz studije je pre svega odgovor na šta?
- 1Sve veće troškove života u skupim sredinama
- 2Nestanak studentskih stipendija
- 3Obavezno odrađivanje stručne prakse
- 4Smanjenje broja predmeta na fakultetu
Show answer
Correct: Sve veće troškove života u skupim sredinama
The text ties the rise mainly to higher living costs — rent and daily expenses outpacing family income — not to scholarships, mandatory internships, or fewer subjects.

“Razlika između pojedinačnog i kolektivnog sećanja, koju je tridesetih godina prošlog veka uspostavio sociolog Moris Halbvaks, dobija poseban značaj u digitalno doba. Ako su se ranije zajednička sećanja gradila kroz neposredan dodir unutar određenih društvenih grupa — porodice, verske zajednice, naroda — danas društvene mreže služe kao spremišta kolektivnog pamćenja u dosad neviđenim razmerama. Pa ipak, ovakvo otvaranje sećanja za sve nosi paradoksalan rizik: preobilje zapisa može da razvodni značaj događaja i pretvori pamćenje u neprekidan, neraščlanjen tok u kom se beznačajno i sudbonosno bore za istu, prolaznu pažnju.”
U čemu je, prema tekstu, paradoks digitalnog sećanja?
- 1Što više čuvamo, to teže razlikujemo šta zaslužuje pažnju
- 2Što manje delimo, to je kolektivno pamćenje jače
- 3Društvene mreže onemogućavaju da se pamte lična iskustva
- 4Digitalno sećanje deluje samo unutar verskih ili nacionalnih grupa
Show answer
Correct: Što više čuvamo, to teže razlikujemo šta zaslužuje pažnju
The paradox is that an overabundance of records opens memory to everyone yet flattens the line between the trivial and the momentous — the more is preserved, the harder it is to tell what deserves attention.

Methodology
This Serbian reading test contains 20 items (4 at A1, 4 at A2, 4 at B1, 4 at B2, 4 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 reading 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.
