OpenExamPrep

Leaving Certificate Russian is Ireland's senior-cycle Russian exam, set by the SEC on the NCCA communicative modern-languages syllabus. Higher Level weights Speaking 25%, Listening 20%, Reading 30% and Writing 25%. Assessment includes an oral conversation (optional project or literary work), an aural paper answered in English or Irish, and written reading and production tasks in Russian (Cyrillic). This 100-question bank is an original English-language MCQ study adaptation for grammar, themes, oral structure, reading strategies and culture — not an official SEC paper or oral substitute.

1How many grammatical cases does modern standard Russian have for nouns and adjectives?
A.Four (like German)
B.Five
C.Six
D.Seven
Explanation: Russian has six cases: nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, instrumental and prepositional (locative). Case endings encode subject, object, possession, means and location.
2Which case typically marks the subject of a Russian sentence?
A.Genitive (родительный)
B.Nominative (именительный)
C.Instrumental (творительный)
D.Prepositional (предложный)
Explanation: The nominative is the dictionary form and marks the grammatical subject (who/what performs the action).
3Choose the correct present-tense form: «Мы _____ в Дублине.» (to live)
A.живу
B.живёшь
C.живёт
D.живём
Explanation: Живём is the first-person plural of жить. Живу is я, живёшь is ты, живёт is он/она/оно.
4What does the Russian soft sign (мягкий знак, ь) primarily do?
A.It always capitalises the next letter
B.It softens (palatalises) the preceding consonant
C.It marks the future tense of all verbs
D.It replaces the letter ы in all words
Explanation: The soft sign ь has no sound of its own; it indicates that the preceding consonant is soft (palatalised), and it can also separate stems from certain endings.
5Which sentence correctly uses the past tense with a feminine singular subject?
A.Анна читал книгу.
B.Анна читала книгу.
C.Анна читало книгу.
D.Анна читали книгу.
Explanation: Past-tense verbs agree with the subject in gender and number: feminine singular takes -ла (читала).
6What is the main communicative difference between imperfective and perfective aspect in Russian?
A.Imperfective only for questions; perfective only for answers
B.Imperfective focuses on process, habit or ongoing action; perfective on completed result or single bounded event
C.Perfective is only used in the present tense
D.Aspect only exists in written formal Russian
Explanation: Aspect is central in Russian: imperfective (писать) covers process, repetition and ongoing action; perfective (написать) presents the action as a completed whole or result.
7After the preposition о / об meaning "about", which case is normally required?
A.Nominative
B.Accusative
C.Prepositional
D.Instrumental
Explanation: О/об + prepositional is the standard pattern for "about someone/something" (о школе, о Москве).
8Choose the correct form: «У меня нет _____ .» (a book — книга)
A.книга
B.книгу
C.книги
D.книге
Explanation: After нет (there is no / I do not have), Russian uses the genitive: нет книги.
9Which pair correctly contrasts ты and вы?
A.Ты is only for writing; вы is only for speaking
B.Ты is informal singular; вы is formal singular or plural "you"
C.Вы is only used with children
D.Ты and вы have identical endings on all verbs
Explanation: Ты is the informal singular address. Вы is used for formal singular address and for any plural "you". Verb forms and pronouns must match the choice of register.
10What does «Я иду в школу» typically express compared with «Я хожу в школу»?
A.Иду = habitual attendance; хожу = going right now
B.Иду = unidirectional motion now; хожу = multidirectional or habitual motion
C.They are always interchangeable without any aspect/motion nuance
D.Хожу is only past tense
Explanation: Verbs of motion contrast: идти-type forms mark one-direction motion (now/soon); ходить-type forms mark multi-direction or habitual movement.
