About this test

This free English grammar test places you on the CEFR scale — the international standard for language ability, running from A1 (beginner) to C2 (near-native). Twelve carefully chosen questions cover four areas that reliably reveal your level: verb tenses, articles, prepositions, and conditionals.

It takes about four minutes and needs no registration. As soon as you finish, we score your answers and email a full, section-by-section report showing your estimated CEFR level and exactly which structures tripped you up.

Because it's a short placement test, use the result as a fast, reliable estimate of your level — a starting point for focused study rather than an official certificate. The section breakdown tells you where to concentrate next.

Frequently asked questions

What grammar does the test cover?
Four high-signal areas: verb tenses, articles, prepositions, and conditionals. These structures separate levels cleanly, so a short test can place you accurately.
How long does it take?
About four minutes. There are twelve questions and no time limit.
Is the test free?
Yes. It's completely free and needs no account. You provide an email address only so we can send your full grammar report.
Is this an official English certificate?
No. It's a placement test that estimates your CEFR level to guide your study. Official certificates come from accredited exams such as Cambridge English or IELTS.
