Free English test: Result

Thank you for taking the Kaplan International English test.

What’s next?
Now you know your level of English, let’s look at the ways that Kaplan can help you improve and become fluent. These results can help you decide
which course you want to take, and how long you want to study for.
If you want to take one of our exam preparation courses or Business English, you will need an intermediate or higher intermediate level, depending on
the course.
If you have a lower level of English, such as beginner or elementary, a long term course might be a good option for you, as it gives you the time to
build confidence over several months.
Contact one of our student advisors and find out which course is best for improving your English.
