The Yle YKI Practice pages offer both new and old YKI exercises.
The new learning package includes tasks for reading and listening comprehension in nine different topics. The language proficiency level is B1. The topics in the package are the same as those in the YKI test. The tasks work best with the Chrome browser and the Yle app.
The older materials include grammar and vocabulary exercises as well as listening and reading comprehension tasks at three different levels. The National Certificate of Language Proficiency (YKI) consists of four sections (reading comprehension, writing, listening comprehension, and speaking), and the materials particularly focus on listening and reading comprehension. Additionally, the grammar and vocabulary exercises support all tested language areas. Author: Yle
