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 questions allow one replay so the test still reflects real listening conditions, where you rarely get a recording repeated on demand. This keeps your result realistic instead of inflated by unlimited replays.
The test uses a mix of standard accents so your result reflects general comprehension rather than familiarity with one specific regional accent. Higher CEFR levels include a wider variety of accents and faster natural speech.
