WHY TAKE AN ENGLISH TEST?
Before you start English lessons, it’s important to know your current level of English skills in grammar, speaking, listening, reading and writing. The best way to confirm your ability in English is to complete an English Placement Test.
This is the first step I recommend for all new students, to ensure your lessons are appropriate and relevant to your English level.
WHAT’S IN THE TEST?
The online English Placement test only takes about 90 minutes to complete, and provides you with your Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) proficiency level of English (e.g. A1-Beginner, B1-Intermediate, C1-Advanced, etc.).
SAMPLE QUESTIONS FROM THE TEST:
There are 5 sections in the English Placement Test:
| Test section | Details | Approx. time to complete |
| Grammar | 100 multiple-choice questions from A1 to C1 level. | 45 minutes |
| Listening | 12 questions based on audio recording. | 20 minutes |
| Reading | 9 – 12 questions based on a short article. | 20 minutes |
| Writing | 1 question, answer in writing using up to 100 words. | 15 minutes |
| Speaking | 1 question, to record answer up to 1 minute. | 5 minutes |
You complete the entire test online at your convenience. You don’t need to complete it all in one go – you can complete it section by section, save your answers and return to it later.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE TEST?
Once you have completed your test, we can establish where your English skills are right now, and together design a personalized program to help you achieve your language learning goals.
We will have a short 45-minute online meeting to review your test results, so I can explain your skill levels and overall CEFR grading.
We’ll talk about your learning goals, what type of English lessons you want, and lesson schedules. I will send you an email summarizing everything we discuss; then you can decide what you want to do next.
You will also receive a Certificate of Competency detailing your CEFR level, the test sections you completed and notes about your grammar proficiency.
