What do the CEFR levels mean?
The Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) is the international standard for describing language ability.
| Level | Name | What you can do |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Beginner | You can understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases, introduce yourself and ask simple personal questions. |
| A2 | Elementary | You can understand sentences about everyday topics (shopping, family, work) and communicate in simple, routine situations. |
| B1 | Intermediate | You can deal with most everyday situations, talk about experiences and plans, and give short reasons and explanations. |
| B2 | Upper-Intermediate | You can interact with fluency and spontaneity, understand complex texts and give clear, detailed opinions on many topics. |
| C1 | Advanced | You can express ideas fluently and precisely, understand demanding texts and implied meaning, and use English flexibly for work and study. |
| C2 | Proficient | You can understand virtually everything you hear or read and express yourself very fluently and precisely, even in complex situations. |

Why take an English level test?
Knowing your exact level saves you time and money. Instead of joining a course that is too easy or too difficult, you can start at the right point and track your progress. Our free English level test uses the CEFR scale (A1–C2) — the same scale used by Cambridge, IELTS and employers worldwide — so your result means something outside our classroom too.
Grammar test or listening test — which should I take?
Take both if you can. Grammar shows how accurately you build sentences; listening shows how well you understand real, spoken English. Many learners in Delhi are stronger in grammar than in listening and speaking — that gap is exactly what our spoken English course is designed to close.
What happens after the test?
You get your CEFR level, a score for every level, answer explanations and a free certificate. You also get a course recommendation: complete beginners usually start with the Basic English Speaking Course, B1 learners move to the Intermediate course, and B2+ learners often choose the Advanced course or IELTS coaching. Want a speaking assessment too? Book a free consultation at our Batla House or Shaheen Bagh centre, or online.
Is an online test as accurate as a classroom test?
An online test is a quick, reliable indication of your grammar and listening level. It cannot test speaking and writing — so in your free consultation, our trainers also check your spoken English before recommending a batch. See course fees and batch timings.
