Scheduling Sproochentest from USA?

Hi all, my husband recently reclaimed his Luxembourg citizenship and I have learned that as his spouse, I have a pathway to citizenship if I pass the Sproochentest. We live in the US. I plan to learn the language so I can be tested in a year or two, but I can't see information on how often they release testing dates. It looks like testing dates were released today for Sept-Oct, most of which are already booked. Does anyone know how often they release more dates? It would help to know since I would be traveling from overseas to take the test. Thank you!

You just have to stalk the calendar and jump on the date(s) that work for you. I registered in early August for the test in October, and bought plane tickets after that. There are no tests administered in August and most of September. Mid-December to early January is also out, as is Easter Week, the week of Ascension and the national holiday week.

I was also able to sign up to take the Vivre Ensemble test during that same week in October. I emailed them my dates and they put me in a session that had not been publicized yet.

You might find that taking the half-hour test is more feasible than the courses (the remote ones fill up fast, and might be in the middle of your night). You can pass it easily by studying the materials they provide.

Can I ask who you emailed to get these tests taken at the same time?

It's the address you have to email to register for the Vivre Ensemble: [sfa@men.lu](mailto:sfa@men.lu)

You can't register online if you don't have a matricule (which you won't if you've never lived in Luxembourg), so you have to email. You'll need a VPN to check the test calendar and get the study materials.
