English Placement Test

Discover Your
English Level

This English placement test is designed to help us assess your proficiency using the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), an internationally recognized framework for describing language ability.

The assessment consists of 90 questions covering grammar, vocabulary, reading, and language use, arranged in order of increasing difficulty. A listening comprehension section follows.

There is no time limit. Take your time and choose the answer you think is most appropriate. Don’t worry if you’re unsure about a question. Incorrect answers simply help us develop a more accurate picture of your current English level.

You’ll receive your placement results at the end of the assessment.

This placement test is aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) and does not award a certificate. Unlike proficiency exams such as Cambridge, IELTS, or TOEFL, which formally certify language ability for academic or professional purposes, a placement test assesses your current knowledge so we can guide you to the right course.
