General English Placement Test

Find the Right English Level for You

Take the Inter-Link Language Centre General English Placement Test to identify your current ability and receive a provisional level recommendation.

The test is completed online and contains 100 questions covering five important areas of English. Your score and recommended level will appear immediately after you submit the test.

Why Take the Placement Test?

Choosing the right starting level is important for successful language learning.

The placement test helps ILC understand your current English ability so that you can begin at a level that is appropriately challenging—not too easy and not too difficult.

The test is not an entrance examination, and there is no pass or fail. It is simply used to recommend the most suitable starting point for your General English studies.
