About the Bulgaria DZI Italian Exam

Bulgaria's Държавен зрелостен изпит (DZI) in Италиански език is the central written Italian matriculation exam administered by МОН. Candidates sit the CEFR level of their school curriculum — B1.1 as a second foreign language or B2 in profiled/intensive pathways — in a four-hour anonymous written paper scored 0–100 points (pass Среден 3.00 / 30 points). The official paper is Italian mixed format (closed items, short answers, writing), not English multiple choice. This free English MCQ bank trains B1–B2 reading, tenses (including passato prossimo vs imperfetto), agreement, pronouns, B2 congiuntivo awareness, vocabulary, and cohesion before students practise official MON papers.

Assessment

Official written DZI Италиански език is an Italian-language mixed paper: closed items, short constructed responses, and writing (B1.1 typically shorter functional texts; B2 typically a formal letter plus an argumentative essay). Candidates sit the curriculum-assigned CEFR level. This 100-question bank is an English MCQ study adaptation of B1–B2 reading, grammar, vocabulary, and cohesion — it does not simulate the official listening, open-response, or writing papers.

Time Limit

Four hours (240 minutes) for the written DZI sitting. 2026 Italian B1.1 and B2 papers: 22 May 2026 (May–June session); August–September resit session under Naredba No. 11.

Passing Score

0–100 points converted to the six-point scale. Pass is Среден 3.00 (30/100 points).

Exam Fee

No published exam fee for regular school candidates; DZI Italian is a state matriculation paper sat through the Bulgarian school pathway. External or additional-sitting charges, if any, are not a published Italian-subject fee. (Министерство на образованието и науката (МОН) — Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Bulgaria)

Bulgaria DZI Italian Study Tips from Top Performers

1Drill passato prossimo vs imperfetto with time markers (ieri, mentre, sempre da bambino) and check essere/avere plus participio agreement.

2At B2, expect congiuntivo after penso che, è importante che, sebbene, prima che — contrast with indicative after so che / è vero che.

3Practise combined pronouns (me lo, glielo, ce ne) and relative cui after prepositions; these are high-yield closed-item traps.

4Read short Italian notices and opinion paragraphs for main idea, purpose, and connettivi (tuttavia, quindi, invece, infatti).

5After MCQ concept work, write a timed B2 lettera formale and saggio argomentativo from past MON papers — MCQs build recognition, not official writing skill.

Frequently Asked Questions

The paper is scored 0–100 points and converted to Bulgaria's six-point scale. The pass is Среден 3.00, which corresponds to 30 of 100 points (Naredba No. 11 / MON DZI scale).

How long is the DZI Italian exam?

The written DZI sitting lasts four hours (240 minutes). Papers are coded and marked anonymously. The 2026 Italian B1.1 and B2 papers were sat on 22 May 2026, with an August–September resit session.
