Exam overview and details

The TORFL II (Тест по русскому как иностранному, второй уровень) is the official state certification of Russian language proficiency at the B2 (Upper-Intermediate) level, as defined by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and the Russian state educational standards. Administered by the Russian Ministry of Education and Science, this certification provides formal, internationally recognized validation of an individual's ability to function effectively in a wide range of professional, academic, and social contexts in Russian. Holders can understand complex texts on both concrete and abstract topics, interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers possible without strain for either party, and produce clear, detailed text on a wide array of subjects. Achieving TORFL II is a prerequisite for admission to Russian undergraduate and graduate degree programs in humanities, economics, and natural sciences (excluding philology), and is highly valued by employers seeking professionals for roles requiring autonomous operational proficiency in Russian-speaking environments.
