Requirements
If you want us to arrange an official TEU, TBU or TRKI exam at our premises at the end of your stay, we require you to complete a preliminary mock exam before you take the real exam. Mock exams are required to identify your weaknesses and personalize your exam preparation.
Mock exam
Mock exams are identical to the official exams, both in terms of structure and content. Exams are held on the School premises and usually last between 3 and 5 hours.
Mock exam prices and booking
Mock exams can be booked in advance (see prices below). You may also request a mock exam every Thursday during your stay, no later than 2 weeks before your course ends. Requests need to be addressed to the School's Administrator, who will confirm the availability on the following day. The payment for the exam must be received no later than on the Monday morning following your request.
| St Petersburg | Novosibirsk | |
|---|---|---|
| Mock TEU/TBU exam | €30 | €30 |
| Mock TRKI-1/2/3 exam | €50 | €50 |
Mock exam results
Results will be communicated to you no later than within 24 hours of taking the exam. Based on your results, the School's Academic Director will then confirm if you can take the official exam.
TEU, TBU and TRKI mock exam results have no official value. Passing the mock exam doesn't automatically mean that you will pass the official exam.
Official exam prices and booking
Exam prices are fixed in Rubles (see prices below) and must be paid in cash at the School reception desk no later than 7 days before the exam.
| Exam | Price |
|---|---|
| TEU exam | RUB 4500 |
| TBU exam | RUB 5600 |
| TRKI-1 exam | RUB 6000 |
| TRKI-2 exam | RUB 6300 |
| TRKI-3 exam | RUB 7200 |
In addition to the exam, you will be required to book:
- A minimum of 5 private exam preparation lessons if you have booked a course without private lessons. These private lessons will be designed taking into account your mock exam results, and will include information and advice to help you successfully pass the official exam.
- 1 additional accommodation night, if you sign up for the TRKI-2 or TRKI-3 exam, and wish to extend your accommodation until Sunday.
Exam organization
- TEU, TBU and TRKI-1 exams are held on the School premises, on the last Friday of your stay.
- TRKI-2 and TRKI-3 exams are held on the School premises, on the last Friday and Saturday of your stay.
No compensation or refund will be issued for the mini-group classes and group tutoring sessions missed as a result of the exam.

Your test results will be known within a week and sent to you by email. The exam certificate is usually ready within a month after passing the exam.
A €40 express mail fee will be charged if you want to receive the original certificate by mail.
