English grammar test

How do we test your English grammar?

The short English grammar test is a short placement test where we adaptively adjust the difficulty of grammar questions based on your previous answers. Questions are generated from the limited pool of questions of all proficiency levels and cover only English grammar and vocabulary. This placement test is provided free of charge.

For a more detailed assessment, you can take the Core proficiency level tests where you get more grammar and vocabulary questions specific to each CEFR level. After the completion of the test, you get the English CEFR certificate and the test report with feedback on grammar topics where you did the most mistakes.  This diagnostic report will help you to focus on your weaknesses in your study and the test preparation.
Exam grammar questions are categories in 13 grammar categories which are further described below.
