Questions & Answers about Test z lektury był trudny, ale ciekawy.

What exactly does z lektury mean here?

Z lektury literally means “from the reading / from the set text”, but in natural English it’s usually translated as “on the reading” (as in a test on the book we had to read).

• test z lektury = a test on the assigned reading / set book
• lektura in school context = a book or text that students are required to read (a set text), not “the act of reading” in general.

So test z lektury is a standard phrase in Polish school language: a test checking how well you know/understood a specific assigned text.

Why is it z lektury and not o lekturze?
