How the test works

  • Six questions per level, from A1 to B2. You pass a level with 4 of 6; the test stops at the first level you can no longer pass.
  • Kinds of question: choose the word or sentence that says what you read in your own language; choose what a sentence means; listen to a native speaker and choose what they said.
  • “I don’t know” is better than a guess — a lucky guess can place you a level too high.
  • The questions are the same every time, so a retake soon after measures your memory more than your level.

What the levels mean

A1
Beginner. You understand everyday words and short, simple sentences. Next: sentences about your day, your family and your plans (A2).
A2
Elementary. You understand sentences about everyday topics — family, home, shopping, work. Next: the past, opinions and longer sentences (B1).
B1
Intermediate. You understand the main points of clear everyday language, including the past, plans and opinions. Next: complex sentences, the passive and abstract topics (B2).
B2
Upper intermediate. You understand complex sentences, opinions and abstract topics. This test stops at B2 — beyond it, longer texts and real conversations tell more.
