What is a CEFR English assessment?

CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference) describes English ability from A1 (beginner) to C2 (proficient). TestCEFR maps your performance across six skills to that scale so employers, schools, and you can understand your level in a shared language.

Is the Quick Scan really free?

Yes. The Free Quick Scan estimates your level with 12–15 adaptive questions covering grammar, vocabulary, and reading — no payment required. It is designed for a fast signal—not a formal certificate.

What do I get with the full assessment?

The full CEFR assessment unlocks a more complete scoring path and a QR-verified digital certificate you can download and share. Pricing is shown at checkout before you pay.

How long does it take?

Most learners finish the Free Quick Scan in about 3–4 minutes. The full assessment takes longer because writing and speaking need clearer samples for accurate scoring.

Can I resume if I get interrupted?

Yes. If you leave mid-test, you can return and continue. Speak clearly into the microphone on speaking prompts so speech recognition can score you fairly.
