Frequently asked questions

What is B1 level English?

B1 is the first "independent user" level on the CEFR. According to the Council of Europe, a B1 learner can understand the main points of clear standard input on familiar matters, deal with most situations while travelling, produce simple connected text on familiar topics, and describe experiences, events, hopes and plans with brief reasons.

What is B2 level English?

B2 is the upper "independent user" level. The CEFR describes a B2 learner as able to understand the main ideas of complex text on concrete and abstract topics, interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible, and produce clear, detailed text on a wide range of subjects.

What level is C2 Proficiency?

C2 Proficiency is set at CEFR level C2, the highest level on the scale, and is Cambridge English's highest-level qualification. At C2 a learner can understand virtually everything heard or read and express themselves very fluently and precisely, differentiating finer shades of meaning.

Which Cambridge exam matches my level?

Cambridge English Qualifications are each targeted at one CEFR level: A2 Key = A2, B1 Preliminary = B1, B2 First = B2, C1 Advanced = C1 and C2 Proficiency = C2. Take the exam that matches your level test result.

How does CEFR compare to IELTS?

IELTS publishes only an approximate alignment: its official guidance states that IELTS 5.5–6.5 is broadly equivalent to B2 and 7–8 to C1, while stressing that IELTS bands have never aligned exactly with CEFR transition points. Check the score your university or employer actually requires.

Is this an official certificate?

No. This is a free, indicative placement test from Wrexa Edge. It helps you estimate your level and choose an exam, but it cannot be used as proof of English for study, work or visa purposes — for that you need an official exam result.

How long does the English level test take?

The test has 48 multiple-choice questions and takes about 30 minutes. There is no registration fee and you can retake it to track your progress.

What does the test cover?

Grammar in context, vocabulary and collocation, functional language (choosing what to say in a situation) and short reading texts, with questions from every CEFR level from A1 to C2.

What do A1 and A2 mean?

A1 and A2 are the "basic user" levels. At A1 you can use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases and introduce yourself; at A2 you can communicate in simple, routine tasks and describe your background and immediate environment in simple terms.
