Take the language test

The test is a combination of two methods: self-assessment, where you assess your own skill-level, and a standard test, where you choose the correct answer.

Each section of the test starts with a self-assessment – here you assess how your language skills in particular situations. Based on this evaluation, the test will take you to the appropriate level you will be tested at.

The test assesses "grammar and vocabulary", "reading skills" and "listening skills". "Oral" and "written" skills will not be assessed online – just the self-assessment.

The test controls the difficulty level automatically, depending on your answers. If you correctly answer at least 90% within one of the sections, you will be given the chance to take the test at a higher level. If you answer less than 20% correctly, you will be given the chance to take the test at a lower level.

It is impossible to say exactly how long the test will take. It can take between ½ hour and 1 ½ hours, depending on how much you have moved up or down in the individual sections of the test. But quality takes time – this also applies to a language test. You can, however, stop the test and log in again to finish it at a later date.

The test is run in accordance with the Common European Framework Reference for Languages. When you have finished the test, the results will be e-mailed to you. Here you can see which level you are at in relation to the reference framework.
