2Przeczytaj wiadomość SMS: 'Cześć Ania! Jutro nie mogę przyjść do pracy. Boli mnie głowa i mam gorączkę. Powiedz szefowi, dobrze? Dziękuję! Marta' (Read the SMS: 'Hi Ania!

C.Bo ma spotkanie w szkole (Because she has a meeting at school)

3Przeczytaj menu restauracji: 'Zupa dnia: żurek — 12 zł. Danie główne: schabowy z ziemniakami — 28 zł, pierogi ruskie — 22 zł, sałatka grecka — 18 zł. Deser: sernik — 10 zł, lody — 8 zł.' (Read the restaurant menu: 'Soup of the day: żurek — 12 PLN. Main course: pork cutlet with potatoes — 28 PLN, ruskie dumplings — 22 PLN, Greek salad — 18 PLN.

4Przeczytaj e-mail: 'Droga Pani Kowalska, chciałbym umówić się na wizytę do lekarza. Czy jest wolny termin w piątek rano? Mam ból zęba od trzech dni. Z poważaniem, Jan Nowak' (Read the email: 'Dear Mrs Kowalska, I would like to make a doctor's appointment. Is there a free slot on Friday morning? I have had a toothache for three days.

A.Boli go plecy (His back hurts)

B.Boli go ząb (He has a toothache)

C.Ma gorączkę (He has a fever)

D.Ma ból głowy (He has a headache)

Explanation: The email clearly states 'mam ból zęba' (I have a toothache). Jan Nowak has been suffering from a toothache for three days and wants to make a dental or medical appointment. The other symptoms are not mentioned anywhere in the email.

5Przeczytaj rozkład jazdy: 'Autobus nr 15 odjeżdża z centrum o: 7:00, 8:30, 10:00, 12:30, 15:00, 17:30, 20:00. Czas przejazdu do lotniska: 45 minut.' (Read the timetable: 'Bus no. 15 departs from the centre at: 7:00, 8:30, 10:00, 12:30, 15:00, 17:30, 20:00. Journey time to the airport: 45 minutes.') Jeśli autobus odjeżdża o 10:00, o której godzinie przyjedzie na lotnisko? (If the bus departs at 10:00, what time will it arrive at the airport?)

A.O 10:30

B.O 10:45

C.O 11:00

D.O 11:15

Explanation: The timetable states the journey time to the airport is 45 minutes. Adding 45 minutes to a 10:00 departure gives an arrival time of 10:45. This requires basic arithmetic with the information given in the text.

6Przeczytaj ogłoszenie w sklepie: 'UWAGA! Sklep będzie zamknięty w sobotę 14 czerwca z powodu remontu. Zapraszamy w niedzielę od godziny 10:00. Przepraszamy za utrudnienia.' (Read the shop notice: 'ATTENTION! The shop will be closed on Saturday 14 June due to renovation. We invite you on Sunday from 10:00. We apologise for the inconvenience.') Dlaczego sklep będzie zamknięty? (Why will the shop be closed?)

A.Z powodu święta (Because of a public holiday)

B.Z powodu remontu (Because of renovation)

C.Właściciel jest chory (The owner is ill)

D.Nie ma towaru (There are no goods)

7Przeczytaj krótki tekst: 'Anna mieszka w Krakowie od pięciu lat. Pochodzi z Ukrainy. Pracuje jako nauczycielka angielskiego w szkole podstawowej. W wolnym czasie lubi czytać książki i chodzić na spacery.' (Read the short text: 'Anna has lived in Kraków for five years. She comes from Ukraine. She works as an English teacher in a primary school. In her free time she likes reading books and going for walks.') Gdzie pracuje Anna? (Where does Anna work?)

A.W szpitalu (In a hospital)

B.W szkole podstawowej (In a primary school)

C.Na uniwersytecie (At a university)

D.W biurze (In an office)

Explanation: The text states Anna 'pracuje jako nauczycielka angielskiego w szkole podstawowej' (works as an English teacher in a primary school). This is a direct factual answer requiring careful reading of Anna's occupation.

8Przeczytaj wiadomość: 'Hej Tomek! Pamiętasz, że w sobotę idziemy razem do kina? Film zaczyna się o 19:30. Spotkajmy się przed kinem kwadrans wcześniej. Do zobaczenia! Kasia' (Read the message: 'Hey Tomek! Remember that on Saturday we're going to the cinema together? The film starts at 19:30. Let's meet in front of the cinema a quarter of an hour earlier. See you! Kasia') O której godzinie Kasia i Tomek mają się spotkać? (What time are Kasia and Tomek supposed to meet?)

A.O 19:00

B.O 19:15

C.O 19:30

D.O 19:45

Explanation: The film starts at 19:30 and they plan to meet 'kwadrans wcześniej' (a quarter of an hour earlier). A quarter of an hour is 15 minutes, so 19:30 minus 15 minutes equals 19:15. This requires understanding the phrase 'kwadrans' (quarter of an hour).

9Przeczytaj ogłoszenie: 'Sprzedam rower górski, 3 lata, dobry stan. Kolor: czerwony. Cena: 450 zł do negocjacji. Telefon: 601 234 567. Pytaj po 18:00.'

(When can you call the seller?)

A.O dowolnej porze (At any time)

B.Tylko rano (Only in the morning)

C.Po godzinie 18:00 (After 6 PM)

D.W weekendy (At weekends)

Explanation: The advertisement says 'Pytaj po 18:00' (Call/ask after 18:00 / 6 PM). This is a clear instruction about the preferred contact time. The other options are not mentioned in the text.

10Przeczytaj informację: 'Basen miejski jest otwarty od poniedziałku do piątku w godzinach 6:00–22:00 oraz w soboty od 8:00 do 20:00. W niedzielę basen jest nieczynny. Bilet normalny: 15 zł, ulgowy: 8 zł.' (Read the information: 'The municipal swimming pool is open Monday to Friday 6:00–22:00 and on Saturdays 8:00–20:00. On Sundays the pool is closed. Full price ticket: 15 PLN, reduced: 8 PLN.') Czy basen jest otwarty w niedzielę? (Is the swimming pool open on Sunday?)

A.Tak, od 8:00 do 20:00 (Yes, from 8:00 to 20:00)

B.Tak, od 6:00 do 22:00 (Yes, from 6:00 to 22:00)

C.Nie, jest zamknięty (No, it is closed)

D.Tak, ale tylko rano (Yes, but only in the morning)

Explanation: The text clearly states 'W niedzielę basen jest nieczynny' (On Sundays the pool is closed). Nieczynny means closed/not operating. The hours 8:00–20:00 apply to Saturdays, not Sundays.

Certyfikat Polskiego A2 Study Tips from Top Performers

1Download the official sample exam (przykładowy egzamin A2) from certyfikatpolski.pl to understand the exact text lengths and task types for czytanie and słuchanie.

2Master the accusative case for direct objects — it changes the endings of nouns and adjectives and appears in almost every Polish sentence, making it critical for both reading comprehension and writing.

3Practise past tense forms for both genders: -łem/-łam (1st person), -łeś/-łaś (2nd person), -ł/-ła (3rd person). Polish gender distinction in the past tense confuses many learners but is frequently tested at A2.

4Learn the iść vs jechać vs lecieć distinction: iść (go on foot), jechać (go by vehicle), lecieć (fly). Confusing these is a common comprehension error on transport-related listening tasks.

5Build vocabulary for A2 topic areas methodically: 20–30 words per topic (health, shopping, transport, housing) rather than random word lists — the exam tests topic-specific vocabulary in context.

6For the słuchanie component, practise with Polish A2 audio materials and focus on recognising key information (a place, a time, a price, a decision) — not every word needs to be understood at A2.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Polish Certyfikat A2?

The Certyfikat Języka Polskiego jako Obcego A2 certifies elementary Polish proficiency (CEFR A2) through four components: czytanie (reading), słuchanie (listening), pisanie (writing), and mówienie (speaking). It is administered by the Państwowa Komisja at certified university centres in Poland and abroad.

How does A2 differ from A1?

A2 goes beyond survival communication: candidates can handle more varied daily situations (transport, health appointments, making plans, simple work contexts) and must produce slightly more complex sentences in writing and speaking. Reading texts are longer and listening dialogues more varied than at A1.

What is the passing score?

Candidates must achieve 60% overall and at least 50% on each of the four components. Failing any single component means failing the entire exam; the certificate is issued only when all four are passed at the required threshold.

Where can I take the Polish A2 certificate exam?

Exams are held at certified university examination centres in Poland (Jagiellonian University, University of Warsaw, University of Łódź, and others) and at Polish Institutes (Instytuty Polskie) abroad. Check certyfikatpolski.pl for the current list of centres and exam dates.

What topics appear in czytanie and słuchanie at A2?

Topics include: shopping, transport and travel, health (at the doctor or pharmacy), school and education, work, family activities, weather, food, hobbies, and housing. Texts and audio use everyday vocabulary appropriate for practical daily-life communication.

What grammar is tested at A2?

A2 grammar includes: accusative and locative case usage, past tense (byłem/byłam, robiłem/robiłam), going and travel verbs (iść/jechać/lecieć), basic modal verbs (chcieć, móc), frequency adverbs (często, rzadko, zawsze, nigdy), and comparative adjectives (większy, mniejszy, lepszy).
