Reading
How much you take from a text whose vocabulary you do not fully know.
Placement test
The quickest way to the right level — and the most expensive mistake if you pick the wrong one.
Said plainly: there is no test running on this page. The placement test is still being built and there is nothing here for you to answer yet. What this page does: it explains what the test will assess, and it takes your enquiry. Until the test is live, a teacher places you in conversation.
What the test will assess
The same skills the teaching is built on.
Listening
Whether you can follow natural speed, and where it breaks down.
Speaking
A short spoken task — fluency and accuracy are not the same thing.
Writing
A short piece that shows sentence structure and word choice.
Grammar
Which structures are secure and which are only recognised.
Vocabulary
The reach of your active vocabulary, not just the passive one.
What happens next
You get a recommended level and the reasoning behind it — which skill is carrying you and which one is lagging. If you sit between two levels we say so, rather than rounding.
