What this check cannot tell you

This small sample is not a validated proficiency assessment. It does not assess speaking or writing, cover everything you know, certify a CEFR level or establish an official level. Prior practice, guessing, replay and slower audio can change your result. Content labels describe a place to begin, and you can change paths at any time.

About your suggested starting point

Is this free?

Yes. The check is free and needs no account, email address or microphone.

How long does the check take?

Allow about 10–15 minutes for 32 questions. This is an estimate, not measured completion time. There is no timer; replay and reread whenever useful.

Is this an official English level or CEFR certificate?

No. The result is a suggested starting point for this site's practice. It samples listening, vocabulary, grammar and reading, but does not assess speaking or writing, certify a CEFR level or replace a validated assessment.

Are my answers or results sent or saved?

Scoring happens in your browser. Answers and results are not sent to the server or put in the URL. Individual answers stay in this tab and disappear on reload. Only if you choose Save is a dated summary of section counts kept on this device. Use Forget saved suggestion, Privacy's progress reset or browser site-data controls to remove it.

How is a starting point suggested?

Each skill has eight questions. Correct answers earn one point; incorrect and I don't know answers earn zero. For a fully assessed skill, 0–3 suggests Starter content, 4–5 Elementary and 6–8 Intermediate. These are editorial practice thresholds, not validated proficiency bands. The lowest fully assessed skill selects a supporting path; ties use the section order. If any listening item is unavailable, listening receives no content band and the result is marked partial. Familiarity, guessing, replay and playback speed can affect results.
