Choose a language to test
A language is listed here only when its question bank is complete enough to score. Other Surf Language courses remain on the site without a placement test.
What you will get
An estimated level or a range, a note on each skill that was actually tested, and study ideas based on the questions you found harder. The result is for learning. It is not an official CEFR certificate and it is not a pass or fail exam.
How the test behaves
The first questions cover everyday and intermediate language. Later questions move toward the level your answers suggest. One correct answer does not raise the estimate by a whole level, and one miss does not cancel the rest. If two neighbouring levels both remain possible, the result says so.
Skills in the score
Vocabulary in context, grammar, reading, and appropriate replies in everyday situations. Passages and messages are original. Questions get longer and more precise at higher levels.
- Vocabulary
- Grammar
- Reading
- Communicative language use
- Listening Not assessed
- Writing Not assessed
- Speaking Not assessed
Skills left out of the score
Listening is not included, because this test has no reviewed audio. Writing and speaking are not measured by multiple-choice questions, so they are reported as not assessed. A missing skill is not treated as a zero.
Questions
Is this an official CEFR certificate?
No. The result is an estimate to help you choose what to study. Surf Language does not award an official CEFR certificate through this test.
Do I need an account or a payment card?
No. The test is free. It does not ask for your name, email, phone number, or payment details.
Which skills are scored?
Vocabulary, grammar, reading, and communicative language use. Listening, writing, and speaking are shown as not assessed.
How long is it, and can the questions get harder?
Most people need about 10 to 20 minutes. A typical test has somewhere between 20 and 35 questions. The exact number changes with your answers, so the page does not promise a fixed number remaining.
Can I leave and come back?
On the same browser, an unfinished test can be continued for seven days. After that it expires. You can also start again. The result is not published on a public page.
