Common questions
The test is completely free to take. You only pay for the certificate (from €8) if you want to download and share your result.
Most people complete it in 15 to 25 minutes. The AI adapts to your level, so you stop as soon as an accurate assessment is reached.
Most prompts ask for 100 to 200 words, enough for the AI to evaluate grammar, vocabulary range, and structure reliably without turning the test into a long essay assignment. Higher-level prompts may ask for slightly longer responses.
You receive a CEFR level based on your writing along with a score breakdown, so you know roughly how your grammar, vocabulary, and coherence compare to that level. It is not a line-by-line correction service, but it does show you where your writing currently stands.
