What is measured

Six skills, scored independently — not one blended guess.

Each skill converges on its own ability estimate before the six are combined. You see exactly where your English is strong, and exactly where it is not.

01
Vocabulary
Word-in-context, collocation and word-formation items drawn from the Oxford 5000 and English Vocabulary Profile.
25 items~10 min
02
Grammar
Gap-fill, error-spotting and transformation tasks mapped to the English Grammar Profile by level.
25 items~10 min
03
Reading
Short passages with comprehension items calibrated to rise in difficulty alongside your estimate.
15 items~12 min
04
Listening
Natural-voice audio clips at native speaking pace, with comprehension questions revealed only after listening.
12 items~8 min
05
Writing
A task matched to your estimated level, scored on grammar, vocabulary, coherence and task achievement.
2–3 tasks~8 min
06
Speaking
A recorded response, transcribed and scored against the same four-criterion CEFR rubric as writing.
1–2 tasks~5 min
How the test adapts

No two people sit the same test.

Every answer moves your ability estimate. The next question is always chosen to tell us the most about where you actually are — so the test gets harder or easier in real time, never wasting your time on questions far from your level.

00:00

The test begins at the population average

Your ability estimate (θ) starts at zero — roughly B1 — with wide uncertainty. The first questions are chosen to learn the most, the fastest.

~10:00

Vocabulary and grammar narrow the estimate

Fifty adaptive items across the two skills bring your standard error down sharply. By this point your rough CEFR band is already visible.

~30:00

Reading and listening confirm it

Two receptive skills, tested independently, either confirm the estimate or reveal a meaningful gap between what you read and what you hear.

~40:00

Writing and speaking tasks are matched to you

Based on your estimate so far, you receive a task at the right level of challenge — not a generic prompt every test-taker sees.

50:00

Your result, certified

Six independent scores, one overall CEFR level, and a certificate with a verifiable ID — ready in minutes, not weeks.

What you receive

A certificate that shows the whole picture.

Not just a letter grade. Every skill, scored on its own scale, so you and anyone reading it know exactly what to expect from your English.

A fraction of the cost of a traditional exam.

IELTS and Cambridge cost $200–250 and take weeks. QEPTA costs less than dinner and returns a result before you've finished your coffee.
