English Placement Test
This placement test is designed to give students and teachers of English a quick way of assessing the approximate level of a student's knowledge of English grammar and usage. The test should take around 45 minutes to complete. At the end of the test you will see your test result and be given a percentage. You will also be able to follow a link to a page which will estimate your level compared to several international English exams (PET, FCE, CAE, CPE, IELTS, TOEFL); and the Council of Europe language assessment scale. For a more accurate assessment of your English language skills, your listening, speaking and writing skills would also have to be assessed.
