CEFR Levels C2 Proficient
Below you will find our English test that will help you find out your English level. Each question is for a different level, and it’s a great way to see how much you know. The test lasts 40 minutes, so make sure you are comfortable and ready to take it calmly. It is a well-crafted and precise test.
 
Here’s how it works: 
 
  1. You need a paper and pen to write your answers.
  2. You have 15 seconds to pick the correct option. 
  3. Each question shows a level above — if you can’t answer, that is your maximum level.
  4. At the end of the video, you will learn what each English level (A1, C1, etc.) means and what you should know at your level.
Tell us your English level in the comments. We’re curious to know!
 
Let’s start and see how good your English is!

English level B2

At this level you can understand:
  • Virtually everything heard or read with ease
  • All spoken language at a fast, native pace
  • Abstract, structurally complex text and literary writings
What can you do with a C2 level in English?

A C2 level of English is essentially a native level. It allows for reading and writing of any type on any subject, nuanced expression of emotions and opinions, and active participation in any academic or professional setting.

According to the official CEFR guidelines, someone at the C2 level in English:

  1. Can understand with ease virtually everything heard or read.
  2. Can summarize information from different spoken and written sources, reconstructing arguments and accounts in a coherent presentation.
  3. Can express him/herself spontaneously, very fluently and precisely, differentiating finer shades of meaning even in the most complex situations.
C2 level English skills in detail

The official can-do statements are broken down into smaller chunks for teaching purposes. This more detailed skill breakdown can help you assess your own English level, or help a teacher assess a student’s level. For example, a student at the C2 level in English will be able to do all the things that a student in level C1 can do, and in addition he will be able to:

  • Discuss issues related to science and technology, including robots and new inventions.
  • Talk about celebrities, celebrity activism and gossip about celebrities.
  • Use a variety of techniques for promoting creativity in your speech and writing.
  • Discuss financial planning and give and understand advice about personal finance.
  • Talk about stress in your life and the lives of friends and colleagues.
  • Discuss techniques for doing research on a wide range of topics.

Although progress will depend on the type of course and the individual student, students
can expect to reach the C2 level in English with 1000 hours of cumulative instruction.
