The Cambridge English assessment journey: Key stages
Stage 1: Placement
Cambridge English Placement Test (CEPT)
The Cambridge English Placement Test is a fast, low-stakes online assessment designed to accurately place students at the right level within English language programmes. The test covers levels from A1 to C1 on the CEFR scale and is ideal for learners, schools, and institutions. While it is not intended for certification, it provides reliable insight to support effective programme planning and learner success.
Stage 2: Skills and progress tracking
Cambridge English Skills Test (CEST)
The Cambridge English Skills Test is a low-stakes, skills-focused assessment used for schools and institutions to monitor students’ or staff’s progress in core English skills: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking at A1–C1 levels on the CEFR, where formal assessment is not required. Ideal for tracking learners’ skills development over time, the CEST further helps evaluate their readiness for higher-level Cambridge English Qualifications.
