AI-adaptive 4-skill English test. Quick to sit, quick to get back
An AI-adaptive English test from the University of Cambridge. Each question adapts to how you answered the last one, so it places you on the CEFR accurately in a short sitting. It comes in two versions, general and business.
Two versions
The structure, the scoring and the time it takes are the same. Only the topics and vocabulary of the passages and tasks differ. Either version converts to the same CEFR level.
It tests everyday English: daily life, school, travel and social issues. Use it to prove English that is not tied to one industry. Writing Part 2 is an essay.
General fits if
It tests the English of the workplace: meetings, email, reports, presentations and negotiation. Use it where English at work matters. Writing Part 2 is a report.
Business fits if
So pick the one that matches why you are taking it.
Modules
You can take each of the four skills on its own, or all four together as the 4-skill test.
Where to take it
If you register as an individual, you take it remotely. Testing at a centre is for institutions booking a group.
You take it on your own computer, somewhere you can be alone. It is AI-invigilated, and a trained invigilator reviews the recording individually after the test. You install the secure browser and run the technical check beforehand. Results come in 6–8 days.
How remote testing worksYou take it at a test centre with an invigilator present. The equipment and internet are set up for you, so you only bring your ID. Results come in 3–5 days.
Fees
Take only the skills you need. Most people take all four at once. Remote means you take it at home; In-centre means you come to a test centre. The table below lists all seven modules in both formats.
