The CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) is the international standard for describing language ability. It was created by the Council of Europe and is used worldwide by universities, employers, and language schools.

Your proficiency level shows how comfortably you can use English in real situations. The Cambridge “Test Your English” gives you a quick, reliable CEFR result.
