Shorter English practice
Two original 12-question forms each at starter, intermediate and advanced difficulty. Grammar, vocabulary, reading and register, with explanations and optional writing practice.
A sample question (not scored, not in the test)
Choose the word that fits: She was ___ tired to finish the race.
too
very
so
enough
Show the answer
too. Too before an adjective, followed by to and a verb, says the tiredness stopped her. Very and so do not take “to finish” this way, and enough comes after the adjective (“tired enough”).
This test measures five skills: vocabulary in context, grammar in use, reading comprehension, collocations, and register and tone. Thirty questions produce a MyTestAtlas score out of 100 and accuracy for each of the five skills, with every answer explained. The register questions are keyed on what fits the reader and the setting, and the review explains that judgement rather than citing a rule.

What this test adds
Short packs offer two 12-question forms at each of three intended difficulty levels, with explanations and optional writing self-checks.
A small next step
Choose a shorter pack, study a skill using its worked example and optional writing self-check, then try the other unseen form of the same difficulty. Two forms are not calibrated equivalents; differences can reflect their questions. Repeating the 30-question overview is familiar practice, not proof of improvement.
Questions people ask
What do starter, intermediate and advanced mean?
They are editorial descriptions of intended question difficulty, not measured levels, CEFR bands, IELTS or TOEFL predictions. Each difficulty has two distinct 12-question forms with four questions per skill group. Forms are not calibrated equivalents.
Can I train and then check new questions?
Yes. Choose a short pack, read the answer explanations, complete an optional local writing self-check and try the other form. Unseen means not opened on this page; closing or reloading loses that page-only history. Two forms do not establish ability growth.
What happens to writing in the practice lesson?
It stays on this page. It is not automatically graded, sent in analytics, included in saved overview results or shared. Closing or replacing the lesson clears it.
Does this give a CEFR level?
No. These tests do not assess listening or speaking, and the optional writing is self-checked rather than graded.
What does the score out of 100 actually mean?
It is the share of the available points you earned, with harder questions weighted more than easier ones. It is a score on this test alone and is not equivalent to any exam band, grade or level.
Is this English level test free?
Yes. There is no email and no payment, and no account is needed; the thirty questions run in your browser with the result shown as soon as you finish.
How long does the English level test take?
About ten minutes at a comfortable pace, including five short reading passages. There is no timer, so nothing is lost by reading a passage twice.
Is this British or American English?
Both. No question here turns on a British/American difference; where a word is spelled one way or the other in a sentence, either spelling is standard and nothing is scored on it.
