About this English placement test
This is a free online English level test. The thirty questions step up from A1 to C2 and cover grammar (tenses, conditionals, passives, relative clauses, inversion), vocabulary and idioms, and short reading. Your result is a CEFR level, the six-step scale used by schools, universities and employers across Europe: A1 and A2 are beginner and elementary, B1 and B2 intermediate and upper-intermediate, C1 and C2 advanced and proficient.
A placement test gives a starting point, not a certificate. Treat the result as a guide: if you score at the top of a band, try material from the next level up. You can review every question with the correct answer at the end, take the test again as often as you like, and nothing is stored unless you choose to receive your report by email.
What to do with your level: pick free worksheets with answers at that level, work through the self-paced General English pathway (A1 to B2), or ask about live lessons. Lawyers and law students can also sit the separate Legal English placement test.
