Free CEFR Level Test: Estimate Your Language Level
Updated June 29, 2026
This free CEFR self-test estimates your level on the six-point scale (A1 to C2) from what you can actually do in the language. It takes about two minutes, needs no sign-up, and is a self-assessment rather than a certified exam, so treat the result as a useful guide for choosing material at your level.
Check every statement that is true for you. Your estimate updates as you go.
Your estimated level will appear here once you check a statement.
Self-assessment based on 18 CEFR can-do statements. This is a guide, not a certified exam.
Now put it to work. LingoBinge swaps Netflix subtitle words at your level, starting with the highest-frequency ones, and saves them for spaced review.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a CEFR level test?
- It estimates where you sit on the Common European Framework of Reference, a six-level scale from A1 (beginner) to C2 (mastery). This one is a self-assessment built from CEFR 'can do' statements, so it gives a fast, honest estimate rather than an official certificate.
- Is this CEFR test accurate?
- It is a guide, not an exam. Self-assessment against CEFR can-do statements is a recognised way to gauge your level quickly, but a certified test (like a DELE, JLPT, or Cambridge exam) is the only way to get an official result.
- What CEFR level should I be to watch TV in another language?
- Most learners can start following graded TV with subtitle help around A2 to B1, and watch comfortably unaided around B2. Once you know your level, pick shows rated at or just above it.
