CEFR ENGLISH LEVEL
A1–C2 PLACEMENT

English Level
Test to Find Your CEFR Level.

Not sure whether your English is A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, or C2? Take the Hartsford English Level Test to assess your current performance across four core areas and identify the CEFR level that best matches your results.

A placement test starts with the question you actually have: “What is my English level?” You do not need to choose a level before you begin. The assessment gives you a structured starting point for deciding what to study, which level to target, or which Hartsford level-specific test to take next.

THE CEFR SCALE

Six reference levels.
One clear progression.

The six CEFR reference levels describe progressively more capable language use. They do not represent six fixed courses; each level covers a range of abilities, which is why a placement result is useful before choosing a specific level.

A1
01

Beginner

Very basic communication involving familiar expressions, personal information, immediate needs, and simple everyday interaction.

A2
02

Elementary

Simple routine communication, familiar topics, practical information, and descriptions of immediate surroundings and needs.

B1
03

Intermediate

Independent communication on familiar matters, understanding main points, describing experiences, discussing plans, and explaining simple opinions.

B2
04

Upper-Intermediate

More complex language, greater fluency, developed viewpoints, detailed communication, and interaction across a wider range of familiar subjects.

C1
05

Advanced

Flexible use of English in demanding contexts, recognition of implicit meaning, fluent communication, and clear, well-structured language.

C2
06

Proficient

Very high-level comprehension, synthesis of information, spontaneous expression, and precise control of complex and subtle meaning.
