How the test works
The CEFR test starts at an intermediate difficulty and adjusts after every answer. Answer correctly, and the next question gets harder. Answer incorrectly, and it gets easier. After 25 questions, the system has enough data to place you precisely on the A1 to C2 scale rather than giving a rough estimate.
Why adaptive testing is more accurate
A fixed-difficulty test has to guess where to start and often wastes a chunk of its length on questions far above or below your actual level. An adaptive engine narrows the range with every answer, which is why 25 adaptive questions can produce a more precise result than 60 or 100 fixed ones.
How results map to CEFR
Your final score maps directly onto the standard CEFR descriptors used across employers, universities, and language schools worldwide, the same six-level scale referenced by IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge, and Goethe exams. You are not getting a proprietary Examinizer scale; you're getting your position on the internationally recognized framework.
What you get at the end
Your CEFR level from A1 to C2, a detailed score breakdown by category, and the option to download a PDF certificate with a QR verification code for €8. The test itself takes 15 to 25 minutes and requires no registration to start.

Common questions
25 questions, adjusting in difficulty after each answer based on how you're performing, which is why the test can pinpoint your level in far fewer questions than a fixed-format test would need.
The system selects each next question based on your previous answers, moving toward harder material when you answer correctly and easier material when you don't, converging on your true level rather than working through a fixed sequence everyone sees.
A fixed test gives everyone the same questions regardless of ability, which wastes time on material too easy for advanced learners and too hard for beginners. An adaptive test narrows in on your actual level much faster.
You get both: your overall CEFR level and a breakdown showing how you performed across grammar, vocabulary, and reading comprehension.
