You answer six short reading, vocabulary, and grammar questions. Your answers are scored against CEFR difficulty bands and you get an estimated level (B1, B2, or C1) in about two minutes. No account is needed.

The placement test estimates B1 (intermediate), B2 (upper-intermediate), and C1 (advanced). Newslish then suggests the matching reading level for daily news lessons.

Yes. The test is completely free and requires no sign-up. You can create a free account afterwards if you want to save your level and track progress.

The result is a starting point for choosing a news lesson, not a certificate or a full assessment of your English. Six questions cannot measure every skill, and this test does not assess speaking, listening, or writing. Try a lesson at the suggested level: if you cannot follow the main idea without translating most sentences, switch to an easier version. If it feels comfortable, compare it with the next level.
