Your level, in plain words

The exam ends with one of these six letters next to your name. CEFR is the scale schools and employers across Europe actually use, and this is what each level means in real life.

  1. A1

    Beginner

    You can order the coffee.

  2. A2

    Elementary

    You can chat about the weather.

  3. B1

    Intermediate

    You can handle everyday life.

  4. B2The target

    Upper Intermediate

    You can study at a university.

  5. C1

    Advanced

    You can win the argument.

  6. C2

    Mastery

    People ask if you're a native.

Most study-abroad programs ask for B2. Now you know what you're aiming for.

About fifty minutes to find out

No test centers, no appointments, no surprises. Here's the whole thing, start to finish.

  1. Pick a language, take the exam

    Reading, listening, and two short writing tasks, about 50 minutes. No scheduling, and the exam and your level cost nothing. Begin whenever you're ready.

  2. You'll know in minutes

    Reading, listening, and writing are all scored the moment you submit, against the same CEFR descriptors every time. Every so often a response needs a human eye, and then it's a short wait instead.

  3. Make it official

    Need proof? Upgrade a result to a verified certificate, a one-off step per language, and it arrives right away, not days later. PDF, QR code, public verification link, and you can ask a person to read your writing whenever you like.

An actual question from the French exam. This is the whole vibe.

Fair questions

Is it actually free?

The exam is, and so is your CEFR level. Sit it as many times as you like and you get your level every time, with nothing to pay. The verified certificate, the one with a public verification page, is the paid step: a one-off upgrade per language. The premium tracks are a separate, paid thing issued by our team.

How long does the exam take?

About 50 minutes: reading, listening, and two short writing tasks. The timer doesn't pause, so grab your coffee first.

What do I get at the end?

Your CEFR level, from A1 to C2, right away, free. Want proof for a school or employer? Upgrade to the verified certificate: PDF, QR code, and a public verification page, yours forever.

Who grades my writing?

We score it the moment you submit, against the CEFR descriptors, so your level is ready fast. A few responses go to a Fennec360 reviewer first, and we spot-check issued certificates afterward. Want a person to read yours? Ask, it's free, and we reissue your certificate at no cost if your level changes.

Do I have to answer the writing prompts truthfully?

Not at all. If a prompt asks for something personal and you'd rather not share it, invent an answer. We're grading the language, not the facts.

Can I retake the exam?

As many times as you want, whenever you want. Only you decide which result to share.

Ready when you are

About 50 minutes from now, you could know your level for sure.

Free exam, free level. The certificate is the paid step.
