Which English test is right for me?
The Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) divides language skills into six levels: A1 and A2 (basic user), B1 and B2 (independent user), and C1 and C2 (proficient user). The quick test above gives you a first orientation across all levels with 10 questions.
For a more precise result, choose the placement test for your estimated level: the A1 test for beginners and returners, the B1 test if you have a solid foundation, and the C1 test for advanced learners. Each test has 20 questions, is free, requires no registration and shows your CEFR result immediately.
