Test your level of English
To find out what is the best Cambridge English exam for your knowledge of English, we recommend you take an appropriate placement test, especially if you are not yet enrolled in English lessons.
As a Cambridge English authorised exam centre, the English Exam Centre offers a placement test created by Cambridge Language Assessment that verifies your level of English effectively and precisely in about 30 minutes, and that can be taken online in a practical setting.
The Cambridge English Placement Test assesses the most important skills required for learning English, and its results directly correspond to the Common European Framework of Reference for Language (CEFR), the global scale of reference for linguistic ability.
The Cambridge English Placement Test can be used to:
- Assess your level of English with extreme precision and external validation;
- Help schools put English students on the correct level, by determining their capabilities, the right course for their present knowledge and the Cambridge English exam they should apply to;
- Enter language courses and schools, by removing doubts about admission tests and assessing if students are able to start or require support courses.
