Hi everyone! A good score depends on your situation. If you have been learning English for 3 months, A2 is a great score! If have been learning English for several years and got a B2 score, you've done well! And, if you got a C1 or C2 level score and have never lived in an English speaking country, you've done brilliantly. You are all great learners and I hope this quiz encourages you to keep on learning! All the best Rupert 🙂
No mistakes...but I must admit that I constantly work to improve or maintain my English level. I read something in English every day and I listen to English channels like the BBC World news. Thank you for this great exercise!
Unbelievable! I've got 9600 points. Never known before that I got a C1 level.I'll try to become better fluency in speaking english in common situations. Thats what I want. Thanks alot.
I scored a C1. However there is no such thing as knowing enough. I will keep subscribed to your channel and be a life long learner of English. Thank you for all your efforts kind Sir.
Greetings from Portugal, Rupert! I believe I can rejoice with the score I got. I have been working as a Second Language English teacher. I got my degree, around 30 years ago. There are times when I feel truly disappointed at my English level. Last time it happened was when an AI online teacher placed me at C1 level. I was devastated by that due to the fact that I fancy English so much and I really practise daily that I thought I wasn't a good teacher anymore...I'm grateful for the fact you could restore a bit of my selfconfidance. Thank you dearly. I will keep on watching your videos and self testing. To conclude, I wish you a blissful week!!! 🙏🙏🙏🤗
Oh! That's amazing! I am teaching in OPorto district. I hope you are doing very well and that Portugal has provided you with ver good memories. I bet you were a British Council teacher, were you not (weren't you?) 😊
With my zenith of reckoning I’d procured solely 15100 marks however i’d still strive to ameliorate my English, for some eccentric reason I answered every question correctly in c2 level however I made 1 error in c1 level and 1 error at b2 level,thanks for giving the test to your benevolent student sir a plethora of thanks to you for making me jubilant after ages.
Honestly, if you found the C2 section easy, your knowledge of English vocabulary is not far from native level. Some native speakers I know didn't get them all correct! 😁
I got one option wrong in the C1 section and four options wrong in the section C2. All the options except the above mentioned I got right. Could you please tell me what the level of my English is.
I'd say it is likely you are at a C1 level for vocabulary knowledge, although just possibly a lower C2 level. Your speaking and grammar level may be different, of course! However, this test should give you some sort of guide as to how much you are likely to understand, particularly when you read. Thanks for joining in!
Hello Teacher Rupert! Thank you for this great exercise. I am happy to answer the most difficult English test questions. I'm a bit of a slow learner but I still make some mistakes.And I still don't understand the structure as expected. I know I don't know much about everything. How can I overcome this? I am sure I have A2 level. I will overcome this problem and I will succeed.❤️😊🙏
Hello! I have seen lots of progress in what you write in the comments. Your sentences now are far more accurate than they were 18 months ago :) You should be very proud of that! It is difficult to make a proper assessment without doing a full reading/writing/speaking/listening test, but I would have thought you were better than A2 level. I agree - you WILL overcome and you WILL succeed! When you watch my videos, do not be discouraged - my videos are aimed at C1/C2 level learners (who are usually people who have been learning English for many, many years), and so they will be confusing at times for A2/B1/B2 learners. But if you feel confused, this does not mean your English level is low. B1/B2 is a great achievement for anyone. C1/C2 is really quite amazing unless someone has lived in an English speaking country for a long time. All the best Rupert
Thank you very much for the test, it must take you a lot of effort and time in preparation such an in-depth measure of English fluency. Here , I want to share my score; I have got 12800 in total, with only to mistakes at C2 level. To be honest, I do not feel that my English is in the same level of native speaker, but definitely I am making a progress day by day as I really determined to level it up :)
Thanks for sharing Hazim. That's a fantastic score! Your vocabulary level would appear to be C2, and, although you are right to say you are probably just below native speaker level at the moment, it wouldn't be obvious to a lot of people. Well done! 👏👏👏🙂
I completely correct before B2 level, but at B2 level, i'm incorrect 2 sentences. It's mean that i have 3200 words overall , but there are some questions that i'm not really understand this word meaning at B2 test. I'm just guess the answer based on the context. And at c1 level , i'm correct 3 questions too, but i'm almost don't understand anyword, just based on the context. But I still can't speak fluently although i have practiced with chatGPT so much, and chatGPT told me that i'm on B1 level based on my responding for some questions. Whatever, thank you for the meaningful video !
Well done for achieving an excellent result! Although it is impossible to be 100% certain about the results of a 30 question quiz, you can have quite a lot of confidence in your results: the B2 level words all came from the Oxford University Press list of B2 words, and the C1 level words all came from the Cambridge University Press list of C1 words (I actually chose some of the harder ones to be completely sure!). It is possible, of course, to be at a B2/C1 level for vocabulary, but at a slightly lower or higher score for other skills (e.g. grammar and speaking). However, you are clearly in a good position with your vocabulary knowledge, and ready to move on to learning even higher level words! Thanks for commenting. Best wishes Rupert
That's a brilliant result, Ridha! It may be possible that some of your other skills are at a different level to your vocabulary knowledge (higher or lower), and perhaps that is the reason you are not sure if your result matches your overall English level, but take confidence from the results; I deliberately picked some of the harder words from the C1 and C2 level vocabulary lists to make sure anyone taking the test could not get a high score through luck 🙂. So, you truly deserve your score. Thank you for commenting! Best wishes Rupert
@EnglishwithRupert I think that score was the result of studying the 4000 essential English words (Paul Nation), even though I have more than 5000 known words in the app LingQ (Steve Kaufmann) What do you think now, Do I deserve the score and the level?
First, please accept my apologies for the late response - somehow I missed your message. Yes, Nation is one of the main sources on the topic of conversational fluency! It's difficult to compare one test with another; every test uses a different set of principles, different testing strategy, word sets, concept of what a CEFR level looks like, etc. I've put my trust in Oxford/Cambridge lists, who have themselves categorized the words in the test into CEFR levels. I'm thinking in the future to do a similar test where I only say the possible answers without writing, as for some people I guess the vocabulary they recognize in listening won't match what they recognize through reading. Some Europeans have an advantage, too, as Germanic/Latin based words often overlap with the English words. So, it's hard to give a precise answer to your question, but I do believe the result you got in my short test will have some resemblance to your reality.
Hello sir I have finished each level without mistake and i didn't guess any of the word while i was filling the gap, i closed the open knowingly. But i am still think i am not good at speaking. I often make grammatical mistake even though i knew i did it wrong. I can read and understand time magazine, i can read and understand reader's digest. I can understand when somebody was speaking in English. I have goog stock of vocabulary but when it comes to speaking i feel myself dumbfounded, tongue-tied, speechless . How can i get over this problem of mine.
Firstly, congratulations on getting 100% of the questions right! That is a fantastic achievement. I showed the test to a couple of native speakers before I posted it here on UA-cam and even they struggled with a couple of the questions in the C2 section. You should be very proud of yourself! On the speaking question, though, I fully understand. Language requires two main skills; receptive skills (i.e. understanding) and productive skills (i.e. use), and sadly one does not automatically lead to the other. There are some tips and tricks to help "receptive" become "productive", but for someone in your position, I think you should be spending 80% of your time on the following: Practice and building your confidence. With practice, get as much as you can. Split this into two parts. First, join a free internet speaking group (I see these advertised on Facebook all the time). Don't worry too much about being accurate in these groups - the point of this group is to "loosen your tongue" - get used to English coming out of your mouth more and more. The more, the better. Second, also do something that develops accuracy in your speaking. One easy way to do this is give yourself a topic and record yourself speaking about it for 10 minutes with little or no preparation. Then, put it into software that automatically creates a transcript of your speech (UA-cam does this for my videos), and check the transcript for grammatical errors. Do this over and over again, and each time try to get something right that you got wrong before. With confidence, again this will only come with practice. But I must add - the most advanced English students I have taught tend to be the most self-critical (maybe that's how they get so good). Although I couldn't be sure unless I heard you speak, based upon my experience I think it's likely you're better than you think you are. Someone in my family is not a native speaker, she's lived in the UK for 50 years, her vocabulary is probably better than mine but she still makes the same grammatical mistakes when she speaks. She doesn't mind, and nobody else minds either. Did you know most native speakers make mistakes too? Lots of British people say "Should of" instead of "Should have", for instance. I hope that's of some help, and wish you good luck with working on your speaking 🙂
Hello sir Thank you so much for such a meticulous, all-inclusive and detailed reply. It is commendable that you took special pain to make me understand thoroughly the tips and tricks of speaking English instead of giving up on me and at least going for a bite-sized reply. Once again thank you for your special care for your students.
Hi Luca, thanks for taking part! All the wrong options are considered by Oxford/Cambridge to be at the same cefr level as the correct answer, so if you know they are wrong, it further confirms your knowledge of vocabulary at that level 🙂
Well done on a great score! A lot of research claims 3000 words allows you to participate in 95% of conversations without considerable difficulty. But I guess "fluency" is a personal thing - to some it means being able to get the necessary words out in a reasonable amount of time (I would agree with this), but to others it means being able to perform at a high level in conversations, including good accuracy. And of course, vocabulary knowledge is not always the same as productive ability. Thanks for taking the time to comment and good luck on your English learning journey! All the best Rupert 🙂

Wow. You are brilliant! Well done 👍👍👍
My score is 14.400. Got one slipped in c2 level part a, it is supposed to be enlapsed. Thanks for this activity…

My scores: B1 100% B2 60% C1 100% C2 20% the others 100% So, I would like to know how you calculate an accurate average.
Hi! Without looking at a calculator, I would say you are probably at a C1 level for knowledge of vocabulary. Thanks for taking the test!
