Why this question matters

Knowing your CEFR level is the first step toward any serious language goal. "I speak some Spanish" tells nobody anything actionable. "I'm a B1 working toward B2" tells your tutor, your textbook, your study app, and your future employer exactly what you can do.

Most self-assessment is wrong. The most common pattern: years of high-school instruction → "I'm intermediate" → take DELE B2 → fail. A 5-minute test prevents that.

The CEFR scale, fast

Six levels, A1 (beginner) through C2 (near-native). Most adult learners cluster between A2 and B2. C1 is the threshold for university study + many jobs. C2 is rare; it's earned, not faked.

Each level describes specific can-do statements. "At B2, you can interact with native speakers comfortably across many topics. You can argue, explain, and produce clear, detailed writing." That's a falsifiable claim — we test against it.

What our test measures

Our 5-minute free test uses reading comprehension, grammar in context, and a listening passage. The questions are CEFR-tagged and adaptively selected — you get items targeted at your level, not a fixed sequence everyone takes.

The 30-minute paid test ($4.99) adds writing and speaking grading against the same CEFR rubrics. It tells you not just your level but also which skill is weakest — and what to do about it.

Frequently asked questions

Why a range, not a single level, on the free test?

Five minutes isn't quite enough data to pinpoint a single level for everyone — there's natural uncertainty. Showing "B1–B2" is more honest than guessing. The 30-minute paid test gives you a single level with high confidence.

What if I don't know whether I'm an A2 or B1?

That's exactly what our test is for. The adaptive algorithm picks items around your boundary and uses your responses to figure out which side you're on. Most uncertainty is resolved in the first 6–8 questions.

What level should I be at to start the test?

Any level — even pure beginner. The test starts at B1 mid-difficulty and adapts. If you struggle, the next items get easier. You'll end up placed correctly even if you're at A1.
