Frequently Asked Questions

What does this test measure?

This test measures your English readiness for real study abroad situations: academic (lectures, essays), everyday (shopping, banking), social (making friends), and communication skills (listening, speaking).

No. This is a self-assessment tool to help you understand your readiness. For official certification, take IELTS, TOEFL, or Cambridge exams.

What CEFR level do I need to study abroad?

Most universities require B2 (upper-intermediate) or higher. However, daily life and social situations may require different skills than academic English.

How can I improve my English before going abroad?

Focus on your weak areas: practice listening with podcasts, speaking with language partners, reading academic articles, and writing essays. Consider intensive courses if needed.

What if my English is not ready?

Consider delaying your trip, enrolling in an intensive English program, or choosing a destination with language support services for international students.
