Start a free Level 2 mock →The WSET Level 2 Award in Wines exam is one closed-book paper: 50 multiple-choice questions in 60 minutes. You pass at 55% (28 correct), earn merit from 70%, and distinction from 85%. Questions span the whole syllabus — tasting technique, food pairing, storage and service, grape-growing, winemaking, the principal grape varieties and their regions, sparkling and fortified wines.
That's just over a minute per question. The knowledge is very learnable; the pacing and the discipline are what a mock exam trains.
Every mock in Wine Exam Trainer copies the real format: 50 randomly drawn questions, a 60-minute timer, the 55% pass mark. Questions come from a bank of 968 original Level 2 questions covering all 25 syllabus chapters, so no two mocks are the same and pattern-guessing gets you nowhere. After you finish, you get your score against the pass, merit and distinction lines — and an explanation for every question, right or wrong.
Got things wrong? Good — that's the point. Mistake drilling re-serves exactly the questions you missed until they stick.
Want to see the question style first? Try our 25 free WSET Level 2 practice questions — one from every chapter, with answers and explanations, right on this site. When they start feeling easy, come back and take the timed version.
The classics we see in practice data: burning minutes on the handful of hard questions instead of banking the easy ones first; changing a right answer to a wrong one on a re-read; knowing the grape but not the label term (or the reverse); and skimming the "small" chapters — service temperatures, food pairing, label terminology — that still carry real marks. A timed mock surfaces all of these while there's still time to fix them.
