About the CCL Nepali test
NAATI lists Nepali among its 55 CCL languages. The format is the same for every language: two recorded dialogues of about 300 words, split into segments of 35 words or fewer, which you interpret between English and Nepali in both directions. You pass with 63 out of 90 and at least 29 in each dialogue. Read the full CCL test guide for the format, marking, fees and booking.
NAATI also has free practice materials for Nepali: four old test dialogues as PDF and MP3, on its practice materials page.
How to prepare for CCL Nepali
- Learn the words by topic. Missing or wrong terms cost marks, so learn the right Nepali word for each medical, legal or housing idea. Short daily sessions with spaced review help them stick.
- Interpret out loud. Listen to a sentence, wait for the chime, and start saying it in the other language within 5 seconds, then compare with the model answer.
- Sit full mock tests. Two full dialogues in the CCL format show where you lose marks: omissions, wrong terms or long pauses. See how to pass CCL.
CCL Nepali: questions
Is there a free CCL Nepali mock test?
Yes. CCL Mate's free online practice includes a full mock test in Nepali and English in the CCL format: two dialogues, a chime after every segment and model answers to compare with.
