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

Simplicity
With a dedicated website, the organisation and management of the test is very simple. Sit the test at any date and time, get the results and print them directly from the test page.
