You got 1 of 3 at B2. That is where your practice should start: the sentence patterns one level up from where you are sure.
What this test can and cannot tell you
- It estimates your grammar level on the CEFR scale, from A1 (beginner) to C2 (proficient), from three questions at each level.
- The upper levels are asked in English for everyone: at that level the question is about style and emphasis, which one translation cannot show.
- Choosing the right sentence on a screen is easier than saying it out loud. Speakle helps you practise the second part.
How the english grammar test works
About 5 minutes, free, no account and an instant result. Three steps:
- Read a sentence in your own language and choose the correct English, eighteen times.
- Questions climb from A1 to C2, three at each level, drawn fresh from the Speakle grammar bank on every visit.
- See your estimated CEFR grammar level at the end, and which levels felt comfortable.
What your CEFR level means
The CEFR scale runs from A1 to C2 and is used by courses and exams around the world to describe what a learner can do. Here is what each level looks like when you speak.
| Level | Name | What you can do |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Beginner | Introduce yourself and answer simple questions about familiar things. |
| A2 | Elementary | Handle short everyday exchanges: shopping, directions, your work and family. |
| B1 | Intermediate | Keep a conversation going on familiar topics, and explain plans and opinions. |
| B2 | Upper intermediate | Talk with fluency and spontaneity, and argue a point clearly. |
| C1 | Advanced | Speak flexibly for work and study, with well-organised detail. |
| C2 | Proficient | Express fine shades of meaning with ease, in almost any situation. |
Questions people ask
Is the grammar test free and without sign-up?
Yes. Open the page and start. There is no account, no email and no card, and you can take it as often as you like.
Which levels does it cover?
All six CEFR levels, from A1 (beginner) to C2 (proficient), with three questions at each level.
Can I take it in my own language?
Yes. The lower levels can be shown in Hindi, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Thai, Vietnamese, Turkish or Portuguese. The top levels are in English for everyone, because at that level the question is about style and emphasis.
Are the questions the same every time?
No. They are drawn at random from the Speakle grammar bank on every visit, so a retake is a genuinely new test.
