WSET Level 2 Practice Test
Three timed mock exams of 50 questions in 60 minutes, the length and time of the Level 2 exam, each split across the six learning outcomes the way the specification weights them, plus a practice set for every learning outcome. Every answer comes with the reason behind it, and 28 of them with a table of why a region gives the style it does.
The tests
The free sample has 3 questions and runs in the same test player as the full tests. Each mock exam has 50 questions with a 60-minute clock, like the real exam, and takes 5, 4, 19, 12, 6 and 4 questions from learning outcomes 1 to 6, the split the specification gives. The learning-outcome sets run at the same pace.

Your scores by learning outcome
Your last score on each learning-outcome set, next to the number of exam questions that outcome carries, so you can spend your time where the marks are. Learning outcome 3 alone carries 19 of the 50 questions. Every result page also shows your score and time per question by learning outcome, each with its weight in the exam, and a score weighted the way the exam is.
A score here is your score on our questions. It is not a WSET result and does not predict one.

Why a region gives its style
Much of Level 2 is grapes and places: why a Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough tastes different from one from Sancerre, or why Mendoza Malbec keeps its freshness. Where it helps, an explanation ends with a small table that sets the regions side by side: where, why, and the style in the glass. Here is one for Sauvignon Blanc, like the table on a free-sample question:
| Region or wine | Why | Style in the glass |
|---|---|---|
| Marlborough | Sunny days, cool nights | Pronounced gooseberry, passion fruit, green pepper |
| Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé | Cool continental climate | Green fruit and citrus, sometimes stony or smoky notes |
| Pessac-Léognan | Moderate; blended with Semillon, oaked | Fuller body, citrus, toast |

Questions
Are these real WSET exam questions?
No. WSET does not release past papers for the Level 2 Award in Wines, and every question here is our own, written on the learning outcomes of the Level 2 specification. None comes from a WSET exam, WSET's study materials or its sample questions.
Is this made or endorsed by WSET?
No. It is independent practice by ProSyllabus and is not affiliated with, made, endorsed or reviewed by WSET.
Does it replace the course?
No. The Level 2 Award is taken through a WSET Approved Programme Provider, and the course and its study materials remain your main source. This is timed practice to check what you know, learning outcome by learning outcome, before the exam.
Will this make me pass?
We do not claim that it will. It gives you timed practice in the exam's format, a score by learning outcome after each test, and the reason behind every answer, so you can see what to revise.
What do I get?
3 mock exams of 50 questions with a 60-minute clock and 6 learning-outcome sets containing 148 questions in total: 301 questions including the free sample of 3, in the full test player with a question palette and mark for review. After each test: your score, your score and time per question by learning outcome next to its exam weight, and the explanation of every answer. Retake any test as often as you like.
How do I pay and get access?
