Why choose Linguaskill?

Smiling business woman

Linguaskill is an online English exam that provides learners with a Cambridge certificate to prove their level of proficiency. It is aligned to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), the international measure of language ability, and is used and trusted by organisations around the world. It can support you to take your next step in education or the job market.

It uses the latest artificial intelligence (AI) and computer-adaptive testing technology to provide a fast, flexible and personalised exam experience, motivating you to succeed. There are two versions; Linguaskill for general and academic English, and Linguaskill Business for business English.

Sample tests

Use these online sample tests to familiarise yourself with the types of questions used in Linguaskill and Linguaskill Business. These sample tests do not provide a result or save your answers.

Note: The Reading and Listening sample tests are not adaptive and are shorter than a real test. The Speaking sample test requires a headphone set and microphone.
