## How the tests work
1
### Answer 48 questions
Grammar, vocabulary and reading, spread evenly over the six CEFR levels. No timer, and you can skip anything you are unsure of.
2
### Get your CEFR level
Your result arrives by email: your level from A1 to C2 and a plain description of what you can already do.
3
### Book the right course
Use your result to choose the course level and length that fit you. Your school confirms your level with a placement test on the first day.
## The six CEFR levels in short
The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages describes language ability on six levels. Schools, universities and employers across Europe use it, so a B2 means the same everywhere.
A1
Beginner
You introduce yourself and understand slow, simple sentences.
A2
Elementary
You handle routine situations like shopping or asking for directions.
B1
Intermediate
You get through a trip on your own and follow everyday conversations.
B2
Upper-Intermediate
You work and study in the language and hold your own in a discussion.
C1
Advanced
You express yourself fluently and precisely, even on complex subjects.
C2
Proficiency
You understand almost everything with ease, close to a native speaker.
## Why test your level before you book?
**You land in the right class.** Language schools group students by level, so knowing yours helps you choose the right course and avoid surprises on your first day.
**You can plan how long to go.** Want to reach a specific level for your studies or work? Your current level is the starting point for working out how many weeks you need.
**You compare courses with confidence.** Course descriptions use CEFR levels. When you know yours, it is much easier to see which courses are a good fit.
## Frequently asked questions
Are the Extralingo language tests really free?
Yes. All four tests are free, with no payment and no trial. You only enter your email address to receive your result.
Which languages can I test?
You can test your English, Spanish, French and Italian. Each test uses the same format and the same CEFR scale.
How long does a test take?
About ten minutes for 48 questions. There is no time limit.
Do I get an official certificate?
No. The tests give you a reliable indication of your level to choose a course. For a recognised certificate you need an official exam, such as Cambridge English, DELE, DELF or CILS.
Do I still take a placement test at the language school?
Yes. Every school tests your level on the first day to place you in the right group. Testing yourself beforehand helps you book the right course and length.
