This test has 30 multiple-choice questions in four blocks that get harder: A1, A2, B1 and B2. It takes about 15 minutes. Write your answers on paper, check them against the key, and use the score table to see your estimated CEFR level. It checks grammar and vocabulary only, so treat the result as a starting point for choosing materials, not as a certificate.
How to take the test
- Set a timer for 15 minutes and don't use a dictionary or translator.
- If you don't know an answer, leave it blank instead of guessing. A lucky guess makes the result less useful to you.
- Answer every block, even if the later ones feel hard. Your score in each block matters as much as the total.

Your score and estimated CEFR level
Count one point for each correct answer, then find your total.
| Total score | Estimated level | What it usually means |
|---|---|---|
| 0–7 | Below A1 / A1 | You know some words and phrases; basic sentences are still unsteady |
| 8–14 | A1–A2 | You can handle simple everyday sentences in the present and past |
| 15–21 | A2–B1 | You can talk about familiar topics; complex grammar is still guesswork |
| 22–26 | B1–B2 | You can follow and join most everyday conversations and texts |
| 27–30 | B2 or higher | You control most B2 grammar; a C1-level test is the next useful check |
Now check the blocks. Your level is roughly the highest block where you scored at least 5. If your total says B1 but you scored 4 in Block 2, go back and fix the A2 gaps first: they are the ones that show when you speak fast.
This is an estimate from 30 grammar and vocabulary questions. It does not measure listening, speaking or writing, which are often a level lower than grammar for learners in Uzbekistan who studied mainly for school tests. An official result comes only from an official exam, such as the national Multilevel (CEFR) certificate or IELTS; see the CEFR national certificate guide.
A quick speaking check to go with your score
Answer out loud, one minute each, and be honest about how it went.
- A2: Describe your morning today. Did you use past forms without stopping to think?
- B1: Explain why you are learning English and what you'll do with it. Did you connect ideas with because, so, but, although?
- B2: Give two sides of the question Should school uniforms be required? and your opinion. Did you speak for a full minute without long pauses?
If you could do the task for your test level easily, your speaking matches your score. If you stopped often, your speaking is probably one level below.
What to do with your result
- A1–A2: Work on the everyday tenses first; English tenses explained simply shows the six you need.
- B1: Speak every day, and learn words by topic, not from random lists.
- B2: Test your writing and speaking against exam tasks; if you need a certificate, plan your Multilevel or IELTS date.
To see what each level means in real tasks, read CEFR levels explained. To plan how many study hours the next level may take, see how long it takes to learn English. The Uzbek-language version of this idea, with a different question set, is ingliz tili darajasini aniqlash testi.
Check your speaking level with Bandi
A written test can't hear you speak. In BandMate, you can talk to Bandi about everyday topics at your level and see where your grammar slips in real conversation, which is the part this test can't measure. Lessons are grouped by CEFR level, so you can start at the level this test suggests and move up when the conversations feel easy. The feedback is practice support, not an official level.
