What the A1 test covers
The test asks one question from each of the 49 A1 topics, with a new selection every time. It covers the basic grammar — olla and verb endings, the place cases, the plural, the partitive, negation, the simple past — and the words for everyday situations: meeting people, family, numbers and time, shopping, the café, the doctor, transport, the weather.
An explanation follows every answer, and you get a review of your mistakes at the end. The test is free and needs no sign-up.
Is there an A1 exam?
There is no state exam at A1 in Estonia: Harno’s exams start at A2. But A1 is the foundation — the whole A2 exam rests on this grammar and vocabulary.
If the A1 test feels easy, move on to the A2 topics and test.
What to do with your result
If you got a question wrong, open its topic and do all the exercises — every A1 topic has 12 to 21 questions with explanations. Take the test again a week later: the questions will be different.
