EPSO AD5 2026 Dates in November — How to Plan Your Final Weeks
EPSO AD5 2026 Part 1 tests are in November. What it means and how to organise your final weeks of preparation, step by step.
It's official: the Part 1 tests of EPSO AD5 2026 (verbal, numerical and abstract reasoning) will take place in November 2026. Only a few weeks left — what matters now is a clear plan, not last-minute cramming. (Always check the exact date and your invitation in your EPSO account / the official notice.)
What changes now
With the date set, the goal isn't to "cover everything" but to arrive sharp on reasoning, which decides Part 1. A few things done well, timed and repeated, beat scattered studying.
Your final weeks, step by step
- Weeks -8/-5: a diagnostic test to find your weak area (verbal/numerical/abstract), then work mostly on that. Rotate the three areas.
- Weeks -4/-2: full timed mock tests, mistake review, speed building. Aim for rhythm and clarity under time.
- Week -1: light review, no new topics, rest and logistics (invitation, ID, venue/link).
3 mistakes to avoid in the home stretch
- Practising without a timer (speed is half the test).
- Redoing only what you already know: work your mistakes.
- Neglecting rest: tired means less precision.
Start from your level
Take the free timed test to place yourself in minutes, then train every area with full access (500 questions with explained answers, 6 months). With the tests in November, every week counts.
