The TORFL exam format (Test of Russian as a Foreign Language, ТРКИ) is consistent across six levels, from Elementary (A1) to TORFL-4 (C2). Each level is built from five separate subtests.
The five subtests
- Reading (Чтение) · Listening (Аудирование) · Lexis & Grammar (Лексика. Грамматика)
- Writing (Письмо) · Speaking (Говорение)
Levels
Elementary – A1 · Basic – A2 · TORFL-1 – B1 · TORFL-2 – B2 · TORFL-3 – C1 · TORFL-4 – C2.
How TORFL is scored
Each subtest is scored on its own and you generally need at least 66% in every one to pass the level. A strong reading result will not compensate for a failed writing subtest, which is why practising each part matters.
