Registration is open from Monday, 20 October 2025, until Monday, 27 October 2025, at 11:59 p.m. After this deadline, registration for the test will no longer be possible.

The competence test will be held on the dates and times designated by the Foreign Language Centre (CNJO). The planned date for the written part of the test is Thursday, November 13, 2025 (for English) or Friday, November 14, 2025 (for other languages). The oral part will take place between November 26, 2025, and December 19, 2025.
Each student will have a designated test date, time, and room. Detailed information will be published in the SGH “Niezbędnik” platform by Friday, 7 November 2025. Information regarding the oral part—its date, time, and location – will be published there by Friday, 21 November 2025. It is not possible to reschedule the test (neither the written nor the oral part) at the student’s request.
Students registered for the test (i.e. enrolled in the appropriate course in the Niezbędnik) are required to check the information posted in the Niezbędnik, as they will not be informed individually about the dates of the written and oral parts.
In the academic year 2025/2026, the foreign language competence test will be conducted according to the following rules:
- Students from all forms, levels, and semesters of studies can take the foreign language competence test organised outside of the mandatory language class hours, in the afternoon.
- Participation in the competence test is not obligatory.
- Participation in the competence test does not exempt students from the language course or any part of it.
- An unjustified absence from the written part will result in disqualification from the oral part, and thus a withdrawal from the test.
The competence test will consist of the following two parts:
I Written part – 90 minutes:
- Listening comprehension (2–3 recorded news items – approx. 3–5 minutes).
Task: Answer 5 questions in the target language. - Summary writing:
- Students studying in Polish: summarise a Polish article (approx. 500 words).
- Students studying in English: either write a comparative summary of two English articles (approx. 300 words each) or summarise one article (approx. 500 words) in the test language (for other languages).
Expected length: approx. 200–220 words.
- Reading comprehension – fill in 10 gaps in an economic text using the correct words selected from a list of 15.
II Oral part – 10 minutes (plus 10 minutes for preparation):
Take a position / express an opinion and present arguments in response to a given issue (socio-economic topic).
The content of the test relates to current socio-economic issues (general and economic language) and assesses language skills useful or necessary for studying abroad.
At the beginning of each part of the test (written and oral), students must present a valid ID to the examiner or committee; this may be in digital form (mObywatel app).
Written and oral parts will each be assessed by two language instructors. The highest level a student can achieve is C2.
Students are required to arrive at the assigned room 10 minutes before their scheduled oral exam and wait to be called in by the examiner.
Test results will be available in the relevant course group in the Niezbędnik from 7 January 2026. Students will not be informed of any partial or final results before this date.
Students who wish to view their written work must submit a formal request by 9 January 2026 to: cnjo@sgh.waw.pl, in order to arrange a date for reviewing the paper in the presence of an examiner.
