It assesses all four language skills in authentic, integrated contexts – delivering powerful insights for each student and for your class as a whole.
Clear results
Score reports provide a clear CEFR half-band and corresponding GSE range, showing each student's overall level at a glance – as well as a high-level breakdown of abilities in each skill.
Group score reports also show the average abilities of your new class, and allow you to drill down into individual student data.
Powerful, adaptive simplicity
Pearson English Level Test delivers accurate results for any number of students at any starting level.
There is just one test, delivered online, which continually adjusts in difficulty according to the answers the student gives. This means it’s never too easy or too hard, and every student sits a different test.

Score report
Level Test score reports enable the fast, effective placement of students into the level that is right for them.
For each student, a clear overall score is given on both the Global Scale of English (GSE) and The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), alongside a detailed summary of performance. You will also find a breakdown of that student’s performance in each language skill with an indication of whether their abilities in that skill are at, above or below their overall level.
Group reports give teachers additional insights into the performance and average level of their class as a whole.
A joined-up approach to assessment
The Level Test works alongside the Benchmark Test to first stream students, and then track their progress in detail.
Both tests are administered via Test Hub, delivering rich insights into your learners' needs and the effectiveness of your teaching program, plus tailored recommendations for improvement.
Aligned to the Global Scale of English (GSE)
The GSE is the first truly global English standard, allowing teachers to more accurately and more easily measure learner progress.
