Your English Fluency Test The following English Fluency Levels were created expressly for students at Everybody Loves English.com. They were created using criteria from several different sources and from experience in English teaching. Several factors based on experience as an ESL teacher were also taken into consideration.

Your level is determined by your score on the English Placement Test.

These levels are not intended to create competition among students. Instead, I hope they will be used as goals for your development in speaking, writing and understanding English.

Please remember, everyone has to start somewhere. With diligence and a steady pace of learning, you will reach the top! Pay for the test only one time, and then retake it every 6 months to watch yourself climb to World Team!

Which level are you right now? Which level would you like to reach?

Level 1-Colleague
Level 2-Council Member
Level 3-Executive
Level 4-Chairman's Club
Level 5-World Team
