Your English is not good enough for this level of test. Try one of our lower level grammar tests.
This test was too difficult for you at the moment. Try our A1 - A2 grammar test.
Not bad! Maybe C1 is a bit high for you, but try our B1 - B2 grammar test instead.
Wow! Your English is very good! You are at C1 level in your English grammar knowledge.
Perfect! Your English is at a very high level - you should consider taking the Cambridge Proficiency exam

Hi Joseph, Thanks for taking the time to do the test and leave a comment. Obviously this multiple-choice test of only 16 questions is not of the same difficulty as the CPE Cambridge exam which as you know takes around 6 hours to complete and covers Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening and Use of English.
However, if a student takes this test and is comfortable with the grammar and vocabulary being tested here, then the CPE test could be suitable for them with a lot of exam preparation for that particular test. The comments with your score at the end of this test are not meant to accurately represent an official result which is equal to an examiner’s report from a 6-hour exam… It’s just a short multiple-choice test for people who want to practise some higher level grammar. Congratualtions on your CPE result. In which country did you take the exam? And can you remember which number questions that you got wrong in this test???
hi, Mr. Grennan! I have done the test, the result is : Your score is 9 out of 16. 56% Not bad! Maybe C1 is a bit high for you, but try our B1 – B2 grammar test instead.
