Érettségi Angol study guide

Érettségi Angol · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.

The Angol érettségi is the English-language school-leaving examination in Hungary's secondary system, taken by students at the end of their upper-secondary studies and recognised as a language certificate by many employers and institutions. It is offered at két szint: középszint (intermediate) and emelt szint (advanced). The advanced level is the one that typically counts toward university admission points and can substitute for certain language-exam requirements, so candidates should confirm the current rules with the issuing authority rather than relying on older information. The exam tests five connected abilities: reading comprehension, listening comprehension, use of English (grammar and vocabulary), writing, and speaking. The Érettségi Angol study guide has 5 sections and about 1,589 words.

01

Reading comprehension - Olvasott szöveg értése

The reading component (Olvasott szöveg értése) checks whether you can process authentic-style English texts and answer questions from evidence. It is not a vocabulary test: answers must be supported by the text.

306 words, about 2 min
02

Listening comprehension - Hallott szöveg értése

Hallott szöveg értése tests gist, specific detail, numbers, attitudes and the speaker's purpose. Recordings are played twice, with a pause before the second playing.

03

Use of English - Nyelvhelyesség

Nyelvhelyesség checks grammar and vocabulary in context, not isolated rules. Typical tasks are multiple-choice cloze, open cloze (one word per gap), word formation, and - especially at emelt szint - sentence transformation and cohesion tasks where you choose linking words or reorder ideas.

Writing - Írásbeli feladat

Írásbeli feladat tests whether you can produce a coherent text that fits a genre, audience and purpose. You normally write two tasks: a shorter transactional text (email, note, message) and a longer text (article, blog comment, narrative, report or opinion essay).

Speaking - Szóbeli vizsga

Szóbeli vizsga checks interaction, fluency, pronunciation and range. It usually has three parts: a guided conversation about familiar topics, a role-play (szituációs párbeszéd) where you must achieve a communicative goal, and an independent topic or picture description (önálló témakifejtés).
