This is a free online English test for you to try. The 40 questions are mostly an examination of English grammar issues, but also your knowledge of vocabulary, some phrasal verbs and idioms are put to the test. Every question is in a multiple-choice format with 4 possible answers; there is only one correct solution on each occasion.

After you have completed the online English test, you need to click on the SUBMIT button at the bottom of the page. After you have done this, you will not be able to return to the question page to change any of your answers, so make sure that you have checked all of your answers before you finish to make sure you haven’t made any silly mistakes.

When you go forward on to the next page, you will receive your results immediately: you will be given a score out of 40. Then you can compare your score to the SGI language level chart. Your score will relate to a CEFR language level grade (A1, A2, B1, B2 & C1). However, this should only be used as a guide for your English competence. Normally in a school placement, you complete a grammar test and would also have a thorough interview with a teacher to truly assess your English skills. An accurate assessment of your level needs to include speaking, writing, listening and writing, so this online English test is by no means a true and accurate appraisal of how good or bad you are at English.

Good luck with the English test.
