About the level test
If you would like to study English with us first you need to find out what your level is. You do the written test first in the school library. The written test is 100 multiple choice questions which covers levels A1 Beginners to A5 Upper Intermediate. It takes about 40 minutes to complete.
If your level of English is higher than A5 Upper Intermediate you should ask for the First Certificate Test. The FCE test consists of a composition and 2 Use of English exercises. It takes approximately 60 minutes to complete.
If you have already done a First Certificate Course you should ask for the CAE (Cambridge Advanced) test. If your level of English is very high, ask for the CPE (Proficiency) test.
After you have done the written test you will have an interview in English and we will then tell you what your level is.
