Have You Tried These CEFR English Tests?

Tweet

I recently took some CEFR English tests online and wanted to share my experience and get your thoughts. On the British Council EnglishScore test, which assesses grammar, vocabulary, reading and listening and shows your level from A2 up to C1 on the CEFR scale, I got B2 for 25 questions. It gives instant results and you can even get a certificate if you want. Then I tried the EF SET test, which is a free online English test that aligns with the CEFR levels and is widely used as a way to measure reading and listening skills. The version I took had 50 questions for reading and listening, and I got a C1 level result. The EF SET can also give an official certificate you can add to your CV or LinkedIn after you finish the test. So for me, I scored higher in reading than in listening and ended up with a C1 level on the EF SET test. Has anyone else tried either of these CEFR tests online? How did you find them and what were your results? Do you think they are helpful or accurate for understanding your English level? I’d love to hear your experiences!
