Start the test

Three questions, then you begin. We ask for as little as possible.

Just your first name, so we can address your result. We do not ask for your surname.
This tells us which version of an exam to recommend. At the lower levels Anglia has one version written for children and another written for older learners.
This helps us point you to your nearest Anglia centre.

We keep as little as possible: your first name, your age range and your country. We do not ask for your email address unless you want your result sent to you at the end. If you are under 18 we do not track you and we will never send you marketing.

Before you begin

  • Give yourself about 35 minutes. Each part is timed, so it is better not to start if you may be interrupted.
  • You will need sound. Headphones are better if you are not somewhere quiet.
  • Answer on your own. A result that is not yours is no use to you.
  • If a part feels too hard, keep going. The test is meant to find the edge of what you can do.
