Before you start

Answer on your own, without dictionaries, translators, AI tools or other people.
Each question has its own timer. When time runs out, the test moves on.
Recordings play once or twice. The screen shows how many plays you have left.
You cannot go back to a question.
For listening and speaking, use headphones in a quiet place.

I need extra time (1.5 times longer)For learners who need it. Your result will say that you had extra time.

How the test works

Adaptive
Questions get easier or harder after each answer, so you spend your time on questions near your level.
Honest about certainty
You see your most likely level and how sure the test is. A short test gives a range, not a promise.
Different every time
Questions are chosen from a large bank, so a retake is a new test.
Private
Recordings are used only for your score and deleted after 14 days.

Questions

Is the test free?

Yes. The 5- and 10-minute tests need no account. The 30-minute test needs a free MicroEnglish account, so your result can be saved.

How accurate is it?

The 5-minute test usually lands within one level of your real level. The 30-minute test is more precise and adds a skills profile. Every result shows how sure it is.

Can I use the result for a job or a university?

Use it to choose lessons and to plan your study. It is an online estimate, not a certificate. For official proof of level, take a supervised exam.

Why is there a daily limit?

Taking the same test again and again teaches the test, not English. A few sittings a day are enough, and your latest result is the one that counts.

What happens to my recordings?

They are used to score your speaking and deleted after 14 days. Nobody else hears them.
