How to prepare

Learn one vocabulary topic a day and listen to every word. Exam texts are built around everyday topics.
Work through the grammar lessons in order, and repeat each quiz until you get every question right.
Read a little every day at your exam's level. From B2 on, read the books in the original with the translation alongside.
In the final weeks, take the official sample tests from the organizer's website under real exam timing.
