English level check · being prepared

A future English level check for a calmer first conversation.

We are preparing a short, independent language-use screening for families. It is not open to the public yet. When reviewed for release, it will offer a provisional starting point before a fuller supervised diagnostic and placement conversation.

  • Being prepared carefullythe reviewed public release is not open yet
  • Planned short checkup to 16 minutes of independent answers
  • No public result yetthis information page collects no learner details

The future core result will be provisional. It is intended to make the next conversation clearer, not to label a learner.

Being prepared carefully

A simple first step, when the public check is ready.

The planned screening is deliberately light-touch: a core grammar and language-use check will have a 16-minute hard ceiling and may finish earlier when enough evidence is collected. Its release is being reviewed carefully before public access opens.

A short planned screening

A future language-use check is being prepared with a 16-minute hard ceiling.

A provisional future summary

When released, it will explain clearly what a short screening can and cannot show.

A clearer next conversation

A fuller supervised diagnostic can still be the proper step for a placement decision.

The planned Buckland pathway

A focused screening first, after its reviewed public release.

  1. 1

    When released

    Core English check

    The planned grammar and language-use check will have a 16-minute hard ceiling.

  2. 2

    After a completed check

    Provisional parent summary

    A future working-level estimate with a clear explanation of what a short screening can and cannot show.

  3. 3

    If it would help

    Fuller diagnostic and placement

    A 45–60 minute supervised session can collect a more complete picture for placement.

  4. 4

    Then, when suitable

    A suitable class or trial

    The fuller supervised session is the proper step for confirming a suitable class or trial.

Clear reporting boundaries

A helpful future estimate will not be the same thing as an official result.

If a future short check collects enough consistent evidence, it may give a provisional working-level estimate. A later 45–60 minute supervised diagnostic and placement session remains the fuller step when a family needs a more complete view.

  • CEFR-informed only where relevant to the evidence collected.
  • Not an official school result.
  • Not a certified CEFR level.
  • Not a guaranteed examination prediction.
