Kobak in English
Kobak Felvételi Előkészítő prepares children in Budapest for the Hungarian central written entrance exam — the központi írásbeli that decides admission to the country’s selective secondary schools. The rest of this site is in Hungarian, because the exam and the teaching are. These four pages are for parents who read English more comfortably: what the exam is, how admission actually works, what we run, and the questions we are asked most on the phone.
Two things worth knowing before you read on
The lessons are in Hungarian. There is no English version of the exam paper and no dictionary is allowed, so the teaching runs at the pace of a Hungarian classroom. Enquiries, enrolment and parent conversations can happen in English — the classroom cannot.
Dates for the 2026/27 cycle are still provisional. They follow the published draft of the school-year decree. Oktatási Hivatal, the Hungarian Education Authority, issues the binding calendar in late summer or early autumn, and we update these pages when it appears — check oktatas.hu before acting on any single date.
Where we teach in person
Our small-group courses run at two Budapest venues — ELTE Radnóti in District XIV and II. Rákóczi Ferenc Gimnázium in District II. Addresses, timetable and teachers are on the Budapest page (in Hungarian). We rent the classrooms; the schools do not organise the course.
