Sample telc Italiano B2 Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your telc Italiano B2 exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Leggi l'articolo e scegli il titolo più adatto. "Sempre più aziende italiane permettono ai dipendenti di lavorare alcuni giorni a settimana da casa. Secondo un recente studio, questa modalità aumenta la produttività e riduce lo stress legato agli spostamenti." (Read the article and choose the most suitable title.)
A.Il lavoro da casa cresce in Italia (Remote work grows in Italy)
B.I problemi del traffico cittadino (The problems of city traffic)
C.Come arredare un ufficio moderno (How to furnish a modern office)
D.Lo stress dei manager italiani (The stress of Italian managers)
Explanation: The text's central topic is the spread of remote work ('lavorare da casa') and its benefits, so the title must capture that main idea. B2 global-comprehension (Comprensione scritta Parte 1) asks you to match a passage to its overarching theme, not a single detail.
2Leggi il testo e scegli il titolo più adatto. "L'università offre borse di studio agli studenti più meritevoli con un reddito familiare basso. La domanda va presentata online entro il 30 settembre allegando i documenti richiesti." (Read the text and choose the most suitable title.)
A.Le tasse universitarie aumentano (University fees are rising)
B.Borse di studio per studenti meritevoli (Scholarships for deserving students)
C.I corsi più richiesti dell'anno (The most requested courses of the year)
D.La vita nelle residenze studentesche (Life in student residences)
Explanation: The passage describes merit-based scholarships ('borse di studio') and how to apply, so the matching title names exactly that. In telc B2 Parte 1 the correct title summarizes the whole short notice.
3Leggi l'annuncio e scegli il titolo più adatto. "Corso serale di web design per chi vuole cambiare lavoro. Non sono richieste conoscenze informatiche di base: si parte da zero. Posti limitati." (Read the advertisement and choose the most suitable title.)
A.Lavorare di notte: vantaggi e svantaggi (Working at night: pros and cons)
B.Le professioni del futuro (The professions of the future)
C.Corso di web design per principianti (Web design course for beginners)
D.Come risparmiare sulla formazione (How to save money on training)
Explanation: The ad promotes an evening web-design course requiring no prior knowledge ('si parte da zero'), so it is aimed at beginners. The correct title combines the subject (web design) with the target audience (principianti).
4Leggi il testo e scegli il titolo più adatto. "Dopo vent'anni di carriera nel cinema, l'attrice ha deciso di dedicarsi alla regia. Il suo primo film da regista sarà presentato al festival di Venezia." (Read the text and choose the most suitable title.)
A.Il festival di Venezia cambia data (The Venice festival changes its date)
B.Crisi del cinema italiano (Crisis of Italian cinema)
C.Come diventare attori famosi (How to become famous actors)
D.Da attrice a regista: una nuova sfida (From actress to director: a new challenge)
Explanation: The article is about a career change — an actress becoming a director ('dedicarsi alla regia'). The correct title captures this transition, the gist of the whole text.
5Leggi il testo e scegli il titolo più adatto. "Un numero crescente di giovani sceglie contratti di lavoro flessibili invece del posto fisso. Per alcuni è una scelta di libertà, per altri una necessità dovuta alla mancanza di alternative." (Read the text and choose the most suitable title.)
A.Il lavoro flessibile tra scelta e necessità (Flexible work between choice and necessity)
B.Come trovare un posto fisso (How to find a permanent job)
C.I giovani e il tempo libero (Young people and free time)
D.Le aziende che assumono di più (The companies that hire the most)
Explanation: The passage presents two views on flexible work — freedom for some, necessity for others — so the title must reflect this dual perspective. B2 readers must synthesize the contrast ('per alcuni... per altri') into one overarching idea.
6Leggi il brano e rispondi alla domanda. "La nuova legge regionale prevede incentivi economici per le famiglie che installano pannelli solari. L'obiettivo è ridurre le emissioni e abbassare i costi dell'energia. Gli esperti, però, avvertono che senza una semplificazione delle pratiche burocratiche molti cittadini rinunceranno a fare domanda." Secondo il testo, qual è il rischio segnalato dagli esperti? (According to the text, what risk do the experts point out?)
A.I pannelli solari sono troppo costosi da installare (Solar panels are too expensive to install)
B.La burocrazia complicata scoraggerà molte domande (Complicated bureaucracy will discourage many applications)
C.Le emissioni continueranno ad aumentare (Emissions will keep rising)
D.La legge non è ancora stata approvata (The law has not yet been approved)
Explanation: The experts' warning is explicit: without simplifying the paperwork ('senza una semplificazione delle pratiche burocratiche') many citizens will give up applying. Detailed-comprehension items (Parte 2) test precise reading of a specific clause.
7Leggi il brano e rispondi alla domanda. "Marta ha lasciato il suo lavoro in banca per aprire una piccola libreria nel centro storico. «All'inizio i miei amici pensavano fossi pazza», racconta, «ma oggi la libreria è diventata un punto di incontro per il quartiere e non tornerei mai indietro»." Come si sente Marta riguardo alla sua scelta? (How does Marta feel about her decision?)
A.È pentita di aver lasciato la banca (She regrets leaving the bank)
B.È soddisfatta e non cambierebbe idea (She is satisfied and would not change her mind)
C.È preoccupata per il futuro della libreria (She is worried about the bookshop's future)
D.È indifferente verso il suo nuovo lavoro (She is indifferent to her new job)
Explanation: Marta says 'non tornerei mai indietro' (I would never go back), a clear expression of contentment with her career change. The conditional 'tornerei' plus 'mai' signals firm satisfaction — key for inferring attitude at B2.
8Leggi il brano e rispondi alla domanda. "Il museo ha prolungato l'orario di apertura durante l'estate. Da giugno a settembre sarà visitabile fino alle 23, ma solo il venerdì e il sabato. Negli altri giorni resta valido l'orario consueto." Quando è possibile visitare il museo fino alle 23? (When is it possible to visit the museum until 11 p.m.?)
A.Tutti i giorni da giugno a settembre (Every day from June to September)
B.Solo il venerdì e il sabato in estate (Only on Friday and Saturday in summer)
C.Tutto l'anno, ma solo nei fine settimana (All year, but only on weekends)
D.Soltanto nel mese di agosto (Only during the month of August)
Explanation: The extended hours apply 'solo il venerdì e il sabato' during summer (June–September). Detailed reading requires combining the time limitation ('solo... venerdì e sabato') with the seasonal window.
9Leggi il brano e rispondi alla domanda. "Lo smart working ha cambiato il modo di vivere le città. Molte persone si sono trasferite in piccoli centri, dove gli affitti sono più bassi e la qualità della vita è migliore. Tuttavia, alcuni lamentano la solitudine e la mancanza di servizi." Qual è uno svantaggio del trasferimento nei piccoli centri citato nel testo? (What is one disadvantage of moving to small towns mentioned in the text?)
A.Gli affitti troppo alti (Rents that are too high)
B.Il traffico intenso (Heavy traffic)
C.La solitudine e i pochi servizi (Loneliness and few services)
D.L'impossibilità di lavorare da casa (The impossibility of working from home)
Explanation: The text balances advantages with a drawback introduced by 'tuttavia': loneliness and lack of services ('la solitudine e la mancanza di servizi'). The connector 'tuttavia' (however) signals the disadvantage the question targets.
10Leggi il brano e rispondi alla domanda. "L'associazione cerca volontari per un progetto di doposcuola rivolto ai bambini delle famiglie in difficoltà. Non è necessaria esperienza nell'insegnamento, ma è richiesta disponibilità almeno due pomeriggi a settimana." Chi può partecipare come volontario? (Who can take part as a volunteer?)
A.Solo insegnanti qualificati (Only qualified teachers)
B.Chiunque sia disponibile due pomeriggi a settimana (Anyone available two afternoons a week)
C.Solo i genitori dei bambini coinvolti (Only the parents of the children involved)
D.Solo studenti universitari (Only university students)
Explanation: The notice states no teaching experience is needed ('non è necessaria esperienza') but availability two afternoons a week is required. So the eligible volunteer is anyone meeting that time commitment.

About the telc Italiano B2 Exam

telc Italiano B2 is an internationally recognized Italian-language certificate at CEFR level B2 (upper-intermediate), awarded by telc gGmbH, a non-profit language-certification body based in Germany. At B2, candidates demonstrate that they can understand the main ideas of complex texts on both concrete and abstract subjects, interact with native speakers fluently and spontaneously, and produce clear, detailed writing and speech on a wide range of topics. The objective written exam comprises three sections — Comprensione della lettura (Reading), Elementi linguistici (Language Elements: grammar and vocabulary in context), and Comprensione dell'ascolto (Listening) — each built from multiple-choice, true/false, and matching items. The certificate is completed by a written-production task and a paired oral exam assessed by two certified examiners. The exam is scored on a 300-point scale, and candidates must reach at least 60% on both the written and oral parts. telc certificates are widely accepted across Europe for study, work, and residency purposes and, once obtained, do not expire. This free practice bank focuses on the objective multiple-choice sections that learners can drill most effectively on their own.

telc Italiano B2 Study Tips from Top Performers

1Read authentic B2 Italian texts daily — newspaper articles, opinion pieces, and formal correspondence — and practice identifying the main idea, specific details, and the writer's attitude separately.
2Drill the high-frequency B2 grammar that the Elementi linguistici section targets: the subjunctive after verbs of opinion and concessive conjunctions, the three conditional types, relative pronouns with prepositions (cui, di cui, in cui), and reported speech.
3Build vocabulary in collocations rather than isolated words — learn 'prendere una decisione', 'raggiungere un obiettivo', and common idioms and connectors as whole chunks.
4Train your listening with Italian radio news, interviews, and podcasts; pause to note key numbers, times, decisions, and whether the speaker agrees, disagrees, or qualifies an opinion.
5Practice the exact task formats: title-matching for global reading, 3-option multiple choice for detailed reading, person-to-advert matching for selective reading, and true/false judgements for listening.
6Take timed full-length practice sessions so you are comfortable managing the 90-minute written block across Reading, Language Elements, and Written Production without running out of time.
