  1. Cambridge Test your English:

    With only 20 questions in the test, you can do this quickly. It will tell you which Cambridge exam you are ready for. If you're ready for the CPE or CAE, you may be ready for college without EAP. FCE would be high EAP, while PET would be about EAP level 5.

  2. English Exam Level Test:

    This tests should be completed in less than 10 minutes. It gives you results on a scale of 1-5 and compares it to Cambridge tests, IELTS, and the TOEFL iBT.

  3. Oxford practice tests (KET, PET, FCE, CAE, & IELTS):

    These are longer practice tests that give feedback on each item as well as scores for the whole test.

  4. Canadian English Language Benchmark Assessment for Nurses (CELBAN):

    This test is most suitable if you are a nurse or want to study nursing. It gives accurate results, but it takes about one hour. Also you must register (for free) and it seems to work best on Windows with Internet Explorer.

  5. Vocabulary tests (Microsoft Explorer only): Yes/No test | Levels Test

    These two tests move from the most common vocabulary to less common vocabulary. In other words, they start easy and get harder as you go. They're quick to do and provide accurate results.

  6. Unofficial TOEFL: iBT Listening | iBT Reading | Structure
  7. Unofficial Cambridge First Certificate in English (FCE): Reading | Use of English | Listening
