Question 1 of 15
What the test shows you.
Knowing a word when you see it and being able to use it are different skills. The test measures both.
Recognition and recall
Most learners understand far more English than they can produce. You will see how big that gap is for you.
Combinations, not just words
Collocations, phrasal verbs and prepositions are where natural English lives, so they are part of every result.
A next step, not a verdict
Your profile names your strongest area and the one thing that will help most. Every answer is explained as you go.
Test questions.
Is this an official English level test?
No. It is a VocabCue diagnostic profile. It does not give you a CEFR level or an exam score, and it is not a substitute for one. It shows how you handle useful everyday expressions and what to work on next.
What happens to my email address?
We email you a copy of your result. We only send learning tips and VocabCue news if you tick the box, and you can unsubscribe at any time. Taking the test does not create an account.
Can I take it again?
Yes. Each attempt shows the options in a new order. Your result is most useful the first time, before you have seen the answers.
