Before you start preparing for TOEFL, IELTS or PTE

Don't guess your level. Measure it.

Forty-eight minutes, forty-one measurement points, five skills. At the end you get your CEFR level, the exam scores it corresponds to, and exactly where your accuracy starts to fall — from data, not from a hunch.

What it measures

Three of the four skills, in one sitting.

Speaking is not measured, and the report says so plainly. We don't produce numbers for something we haven't tested.

Listening10 questions
Three clips: a campus conversation, a short lecture and an academic discussion. Each clip plays once, with one replay allowed.
Grammar10 questions
Structure and written expression: tense and aspect, articles and determiners, embedded question order, complementation, conditionals and relative clauses. Each item targets one documented point rather than testing grammar in general.
Vocabulary8 questions
Academic vocabulary, meaning from context, synonymy and word form. Nothing that rewards a memorised list — every item is solved from the logic of the sentence.
Reading12 questions
Three passages rising from B1 to C1. Main idea, detail, inference, pronoun reference and author's purpose are measured separately.
Writing1 essay
The current TOEFL academic discussion task. Scored against a fixed rubric in two independent passes; when the two disagree, a human reviews it.

How it works

Four steps, forty-eight minutes.

  1. 01

    Enter your code

    Codes are issued by a teacher or institution and belong to one student. You confirm your name before starting.

  2. 02

    Check your sound

    The exam opens with listening, so you play a short test clip first. On iPhone, audio plays silently with no error when the side switch is off — this screen catches that.

  3. 03

    Forty-eight minutes

    Each section is timed on its own, so you can't spend your reading time on grammar. The clock runs on the server.

  4. 04

    Get your result

    Your CEFR level, the exam scores it corresponds to, your difficulty curve, and an explanation for every question you got wrong.

Why the result holds up

The answer key never reaches your browser

Questions are sent without their answers. Scoring happens on the server.

Options are shuffled per attempt

"The answer to question seven is C" is worthless, because the order differs for every student.

Every code starts on a different form

If everyone began with the same form, that form would be the first to leak.

Your answers save as you go

If the browser crashes or your connection drops, you continue where you left off.

Sample report

This is what you get when the exam ends.

The report below came out of the real scoring engine. The numbers belong to a representative student; the calculation is genuine.

The shaded band is measurement uncertainty. No 48-minute test can claim a single point; about one in four students near a cut score moves to the neighbouring band on a retest.

You answered only a third of the C1 items correctly. Your ceiling looks to be around B2–C1 — that is where your study should begin.

Receptive and productive skill

B2

reading and listening

B1

writing

You understand at a higher level than you can produce. This is common and it is what surprises students most in the real exam: the writing section pulls the total score down.

Why you got them wrong

Question 14 · If the samples ______ stored correctly, the results would have been reliable.

You answered: were|Correct: had been

The main clause has “would have been”, so this is a third conditional: something that did not happen in the past. The if-clause needs the past perfect. Learners routinely mix the second and third conditional because many languages build both with a single form.

For institutions

See your whole class on one screen.

For courses, schools and language centres: hand out codes, review results question by question, and know exactly where each student stalls.

Get in touch

Codes in bulk

Generate as many codes as you have students and bind each one to a name. You decide how many attempts each code carries.

The full answer sheet

Every question for every student: what they marked, what was correct, how long they spent, how often they replayed the audio.

Item analysis

See which questions discriminate and which are broken. If one question's accuracy jumps suddenly, that question is circulating in your class.

Progress over time

When the same student takes a different form, the scores are comparable — because every form is built to the same blueprint.

Essay review

See the reasoning behind each score and override it yourself when you disagree.

FAQ

Questions, answered honestly.

Is this an official exam result?

No. This is a placement test: it tells you where to start. The TOEFL, IELTS, PTE and Cambridge figures are estimated ranges, not official scores. You cannot apply anywhere with this result.

Why isn't speaking measured?

Measuring speaking reliably takes human rating and a live session — more than a 48-minute automated test can carry. Since we don't measure it, we don't produce a number for it. The report states this plainly.

How reliable is the result?

On a well-built 40-item test the standard error of measurement is about three items. In practice: if you land close to a level boundary, roughly one in four students moves to the neighbouring band on a retest. That is normal, and the report shows it as a confidence label rather than hiding it.

Can the same student take it again?

Yes, as long as the code has attempts left. Each attempt assigns a different form, and because every form follows the same blueprint the scores are comparable. Taking the same form twice is not possible.

Where do the questions come from?

All of them are ours and written by hand. Reading passages are derived from copyright-free sources (Wikipedia, NASA, NOAA, open-access journals) and their difficulty is verified by measuring word frequency and sentence length. Not a single item is taken from an exam-preparation site.

What happens to my data?

Your name, answers and essay are stored on a server in Frankfurt. Your essay is sent to an AI service for scoring. Records are kept for 24 months and then anonymised. Details are in the privacy notice.
