EPSO update · 13 Oct 2026 · checked 24 Oct 2026
Part 1 reasoning test week: 9–13 November 2026.
Part 1 covers verbal, numerical and abstract reasoning. EPSO schedules the first testing part for the week of 9–13 November 2026. On 19 October, the Single Candidate Portal invitation confirms your testing week, not your individual date and time. From 20 October to 6 November, access TAO to complete the required technical pre-requisite test and check your exact session date and time. Follow your official instructions. Further Part 2 timing information is still to come, so PrepRun keeps those practice formats Beta.

Sample data
Approved budget: EUR 240,000 Increase: 8%
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: EUR 259,200
Reasoning: 8% of EUR 240,000 is EUR 19,200. The increased budget is EUR 240,000 + EUR 19,200 = EUR 259,200.
This is one of the repeatable questions in the free demo. It is original PrepRun practice, not an official EPSO question or a scored attempt.
