A1--10, A2--9, B1--8, B2--7, C1--9, C2--9. Thank you for this video, I am a 60y old man who as had very little schooling, once again thank you very much.
I’m B1😅,never learned English at school,just talking with people and watching TV.From 60 questions got wrong 19,I’m still happy with results,thank you,it was fun❤
I have a degree in meteorology and a double-minor in Swedish language and Scandinavian literature. English is my first language. I scored 100 with a couple of minor disagreements between Australian and American phrasing. My biggest lesson was....I admire even more now people who are learning English. Well done. I bow to you.
Frankly speaking i found no difficulties concerning a1 a2 b1 b2 and c1, all my answers were right, but c2 was a challenge to me only one question was right, this means that i need to do more efforts especialy concerning idioms and phrasal verbs thanks a lot for your endeavours Max.
it's a bit strange to me that I made no mistakes in c2,c1 , but 1 error in b2 and 2 in b1.. 🤔😮 ps. have you noticed that the author have read the answers for question 30 in a different way than all the others... (instead of only reading those words she's read them with the verb... which made it easier to answer 🤔😉)
It's been a pleasure to take this British-English test after living for almost 30 years in Canada and using no "real English" at all. I made 6 mistakes while answering the questions which, I think, is quite an achievement.
I really enjoyed taking this test. I’m 64 and I sometimes wonder if I’m still up on grammar. I do these kind of tests daily to make sure my brain isn’t getting tired. Missed 3 out of 60 , not so bad. Narrator is very pleasant. I’ll look for other tests she has done.
Susan, I am like you. I try to take as many tests like this to test my mental acuity. I'll be 76 in 2 weeks. I missed #34 because I replaced a word in the question with a preconceived answer.
Hello. I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for your videos. I watched them all on You Tube, at first I found it very difficult, but after taking the test I'm a little proud of myself. Level is A2. I have been speaking English for 25 years (I learned it in school). But I am motivated to keep getting better. That's why I signed up for the regular lessons today and also subscribed to the channel. I'm watching you from Germany. Many greetings
@@EnglishwithMax Hello Max. Thank you for your nice answer and your wishes. I hope you're not doing too much strenuous stuff this Australian summer? Greetings from the German winter. I look forward to new videos from you.
What you have written is good and understandable English. I speak enough Spanish to get around, but it is certainy not pretty. I only say this becasue English has brorrowed so many words I can almost guess at a usabe word in Spanish. English is a bastard language. The basic structure is simple but painfully difficult at higher levels. Sometimes the rule is that it simply "sounds right". There are plenty of native english speakers the would have trouble with the C1/C2 levels.
I attended C1 and C2 tests and had one and four errors respectively. Very good experience for me. It taught me that not only I need a grammar base but also a common sense to answer some of the questions. I answered some of them just by experience I have. Thanks for conducting this test
No mistakes. I can usually pass for a native speaker in writing, including academic writing, but have a noticeable Dutch accent when I speak. My main issue is that I sometimes use American English in a British context and vice versa. In the Netherlands, we are taught British English in school but are more exposed to American English.
In American English, one might say "will" versus "would" for #40. I had never heard the expression in #52 (American in Canada teaching IELTS/Oxford English). For #56, in America you could say "fork over" or maybe "dish out", but not fork out. I found this test helpful because brushing up on proper English when speaking a regional English is important for teachers. Thanks!
@@IloveJesusChristNowandForever An alternative viewpoint from a native British who attended an American high school. For 40 I definitely tend towards "would" but recognize that "will" is used (much more American) although it seems to have slightly different implications; I have heard "will" used but it still comes across as unusual/uncommon. For #52 it is definitely not a common expression, particularly as such situations are not common and thus it is not heard often, but occasionally some will use it. For #56 I would definitely say "fork out", although I have heard of "dish out" from Americans, but haven't heard "fork over" before. In general, it seems that this test is slightly more geared toward British English than American English.
Pretty much the same, except my accent is British enough to have almost anyone who isn’t in fact British, think that I am. Have even had British people ask me how long I’ve lived in Britain 😂
same in norway, fluent in english and american, english from school and american from media and wife, and i was complimented on my norwegian(my native language) in a grocery store where id been talking to my wife in line, and the clerk didnt understand my wife so she told me to say it in norwegian...
Hi, greetings from Congo in Africa! That's a great idea, to test oneself in English. I was surprised by the level of questions - what you call proficiency level C2 is just average in my country here. We study hard to master English. I'm proud to announce that I just hesitated at B1 #1 between "I'm closing" and "I'll close", and quickly spotted "I'll close". As a language practitioner myself, it's highly important to check my level every now and then. Looking forward to your next test !!! Thanks for your work. I'm so happy I got only one wrong !
I've never tested my level before but I got almost all answers right up to C1, but the vocabulary of C2 is just too advanced for me, thank you for the video
I had basic English in school, however I learned a lot more and faster while practicing talking, reading, listening and learned that there is a lot more to this language, how it differs in various dialects to understand Scottish, Australian, Irish or Mid-West American people is one thing, the next challenge pose non native English speaking people, like Indians, other Asian or African people is another level where it becomes clear that languages are all about communication and not about standard settings! The same is of course with other languages like French, Spanish, Portugiese not to mention the large variety of dialects.
I had a perfect score. I would have been horrified if I hadn't. What I did have, though, was a really good giggle at one of the questions. Going for "a strain around the block" would not be that far-fetched for me. :) Thank you for an entertaining hour!
I started watching your videos, hope I learn, overall nice experience, thanks for the video. 10/10 Beginner, 16/20 Elementary, 4/10 Upper intermediate, 8/10 Advanced, 4/10 Proficiency
I just finished taking your test on You Tube, Max,and I got all of the answers correct-except one! My English skills,Max,have been improved by doing these quizzes,and by studying "The Verbal Edge", which appeared for many years in Reader,s Digest. When you study those two,it is hard to be bluffed! Thanks! Larry Carroll
Hello miss max!i am currently working on my English vocabulary for my GED.and my score in this video are A1-10 A2-7 B1-9 B2-6 C1-7 C2-4 I am from the Philippines by the way.and never go to school for a long time .i stop school sinced i was 12 years old and i am already 38 years old now
Thank you very much for this test: it's very well-made! I got an higher score than the one I expected... My score is: A1 - 10/10 A2 - 10/10 B1 - 9/10 B2 - 9/10 C1 - 6/10 C2 - 1/10 I learned lots of expressions I didn't know before (in C2 section) so thank you very much! Bye, NS
I thought this to be very educational and fun! I got a little mixed up, or slightly perplexed on one question and answered wrong. I am an elder person of 63 and it was an enjoyable exercise for me. In addition, your presentation was very pleasant and sweet. Thank you 😊
I missed 2-3. As an 😅advanced ESL student, I didn’t even pay attention to the difference between trying and try to - a no brainer for a native speaker. Your channel does help me improve my English skills. Thank you ❤
This was a fun test 😊 I was a bit surprised at the C2, but I guess I was lucky to get things that I was familiar with for the most part 😊 One miss on B2, one on C1, and one on C2. I’m not a native English speaker, so I’m happy with that 😊 Thank you for taking the time to put this test together.
Same here ! As a former English teacher in Romania ( so being Romanian) , I was very curious about my real level of English ( I actually studied English for only 7 years from the age of 12 till 18 when I finished high-school ) ! Thanks for confirming my pronunciation ( only 2words were strange for me , chamomile being one of them !) , but the C2 section was a guess section for me ! "Fork out" was the funniest of all ! 😅🤗😘😘😘
@@danielacinderella9501 I think teaching English is a different skill set than speaking English correctly. Probably you need a higher level of English than your students, but what you need most are good teaching skills, and good skills for teaching English.
Thanks for this intriguing video test, which gave me an opportunity to recalibrate my English proficiency. I am a 68 old Asian and scored 58/60. Back in the day I did my PhD (STEM) in U.S. To qualify for the graduate studies there, I had to score well in TOEFL and GRE tests. I am looking forward to trying D/E/F series.
Wow, thank you for putting this together. I can’t believe I got of the questions right. I thought I might have been a little rusting towards the end, but nope! 😊
All your level tests were excellent except C1 and C2. Because they have been nearly most of them based on phrasal verbs,expressions and idioms which are very difficult for non-native English speakers. Instead, they could be mostly based on C1 and C2 grammar questions than vocabulary ones.Thanks for your tests!
Thank you for your comment. I designed it that way because if you take English lessons, nearly all grammar points are covered by the time you reach C1. And getting beyond C1 is almost exclusively about improving your vocabulary.
Thank you Max, very interesting and well presented quiz. I am so often appalled by the grammar I see in the comments left on TH-cam by people who are obviously native English speakers, so when I saw this quiz, I decided I had to try it for myself. Sixty out of sixty, I am happy to say but then I am rather particular about grammar and spelling as I majored in Business Communication at University and am also an English speaker so it was not too difficult at all. I must congratulate those people who's first language is not English, yet managed to score highly. Very commendable indeed.
Went into this thinking it should be a walk in the park. I knew my level was close to C2(I have had myself tested in all four sections and had C2 level scores), but I didn't know about fork out. Barring that one question, didn't even need options for most C2 questions. Most of them were the first responses that popped in my head. Anyway, I still ended up learning something new. Thank you for that. Nice video! 👌
M a graduate and was an english teacher. Thank you for your valueable test. I got all the guestions correctly answered except 3 Qs.I think thats not bad.thank you.
This is the first time I watch your channel . It is really useful . I enjoyed watching and listening to this test . It was enjoyable as well as gave me an indication of my English level . It became hard a little bit in level C 2 not grammatically but because of new vocabulary that I did not know . Hoping for more tests in the future . English with Max thank you so much for this amazing video !
Very interesting. Scored around 57/60. Although i did not know most of the vocabulary in c2 i was able to make out most of the answers due to context. like landfall is the only possible answer because 'fall' is the only verb that makes sense here etc. I found similiar solutions on the other ones. Really fun i think my english is somewhere around c1 although i sometimes still get the grammar wrong. Thanks alot really cool Video!
Living in Canada I had a perfect score on the C2 expressions and my native French helped. However I was surprised to see that the grammatical mistakes I used to make when studying English are still tripping me. Concordance des temps is my nemesis.
I missed only about 4 questions on the entire test. I really enjoyed taking it. I am American, and am glad I have British friends, because a few of the questions didn't "directly translate" into American English. Nevertheless, I am glad that the test had a British slant, because I think in general, Brits use much better English than Americans do. My father taught me that one MUST have a command of the language to get anywhere in this world. He could not have been more right.
That is ridiculous! I am Bulgarian and I passed it without mistakes. However my English is not good at all. I even need subtitles to understand movies in English.
This really depends on which part of America you're in. And moreso if you're rural/country or city. Most of the advanced level sentences simply don't have place on a farm or ranch... Or in the middle of nowhere... Meaning literally nobody speaks with such grammar.
We have a good command of English because, well English people like me have it as our native language with all it's historical development, accents dialects and all the cultural idioms. Tolkein believed, and I agree, that language transmits culture which is why it can be difficult to be fluent in another language. Even for most Scots, Welsh and Irish people English is used as a native language.
Sorry to sound rude. But I am objective. My English is terrible. The test is not a criterion. I guessed big part of the answers on the principle of exclusion.
Broadly speaking the test was a bit comparatively challenging at advanced levels as I made 4 mistakes at C 1, however when it comes to A1 2 as well as B1 2 I also. Made 4 mistakes at b2 and 1 all in all it was really avail for me to learn some fresh vocabulary as well as remind a breed of phrases and words thanks for inevitably great lesson ✊
The test was a bit challenging at advanced levels. I made four mistakes at C 1; however, when it comes to A1, A2 and, B1, B2, I made four mistakes at B2 and B1. Overall, it was great for me to learn new vocabulary and remind a breed of phrases and words. Thanks for the inevitably great lesson.
Upto C1-2 incorrect and in C2-5 Non Native, Indian, studied English after my 10th standard.I worked hard to learn English. Happy to achieve C-1 Advanced level 🎉
It's school english. Nobody cares about all the little rules of grammar or conjugation. Nobody speaks or writes perfect whatever-language-is-theirs. Nobody.
Missed 2. Age 60, native speaker, lived in Mississippi as a boy, Texas for 40 years now. In between, Spain, Singapore and England where I learned to speak Spanish, heard some variations to the idiom, and the proper way to speak, in "British". My English step-mother was properly schooled, intelligent, and easy on the eye. She pointed out some lingering speech issues-all good naturedly of course. At the time, she seemed to speak a different language. As a proper Yorkshire Rose she spoke French as well, but could speak as any from the British Isles might, includeing as the poorer, less articulate would. My command of the accents is excellent, almost as good as hers. Her American southern drawl is mediorce at best, but she only visited Mississippi one time. I attended an English school for a year; 3rd form (8th Grade). The curriculum at Stokesly Comprehensive was very advanced, I was soon lost in Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. Hanging on elsewhere. I was evaluated in Spanish by a man sent to my school to do so. I was deemed sufficient and thus didn't have to participate in the French class. Students learn French over their entire duration of school, by the 3rd form it's well advanced. Ironically, during English class I was able to excel- strangely, they were just now on adverbs, which I had covered some time before. At some point I took a broad, comprehensive test. It had most grades in the 50% region. I was aghast, as I knew Pops would have something harsh to say, to put it mildly. My friends assured me it was o.k.- in England they test to see your limits, their marks were as mine were. At home, Pops immediately took off his belt, to let it speak to me. Jane, my stepmom, was able to intervene at the last second, backing up my story of 'them testing to see your limits'. I narrowly escaped around the table, Pops was on the verge of not believing my "outrageous" story. That;s what I remember, 40+ years ago. For this and much more I am thankfull to all 4 that raised me. My parents and step-parents. I know it took the efforts of all 4 to raise me. All alive today, though Pops isn't doing so hot. He is well attended to, in Yorkshire. About time I went, methinks.
Miguel, I enjoyed reading your comment so much, I read it 3 times. What a wonderful writing skill you have there. I do expect to see a book with your name on it, sometime in the future. Big Cheers from Australia.
I had a couple of mishaps on C2, thanks a lot for your time and thoughtfulness 🙏🏻❤️🍀 I woulf love to take your course on TOEFL or IELTS and on how to teach and prepare for these tests to ESL learners), just because it's more fun with you)
Could you possibly make more videos like this one? The video is really helpful. Only when people take the time and do your exercises can they know their actual levels in English.
Another suggestion: Why not introduced an updated Mathematics exercises in order to improve the learner's skills in numbers & concepts in Mathematics & further their knowledge to teach with upcoming generations to come. Mathemathics & English are both important in schools from elementary level of education through college education.
I'm a Japanese learning English as a foreign language for more than 15 years. I got 4 mistakes in the last section...I didn't know the phrase, "lo and behold." Anyway, the test is, I think, well-organized and seems capable of evaluating an EFL learner's grammar and vocabulary level. Thank you so much!
In my opinion, the past perfect tense is way too advanced for the B1 level. Anyway, I'm glad I passed the B2 level - 10/10. That was with a little bit of luck, though. Tomorrow, I'm going to try C levels, when I gather a little bit more focus - but I don't have a lot of expectations. I'm happy with my current level.
Thank you for this test! I finished with 56/60 correct answers, having one mistake each in B1 through C2. The B mistakes were due to lack of trust in my gut feeling, the C1 mistake was something I really didn't know, and question number 59 in C2 (the one about the body part) left me absolutely clueless because I had never even heard one of the four suggested solutions. But this result makes me very proud, knowing that I stopped having English lessons at school in 10th grade and afterwards learned it only through books and movies (well ... and computer games) without ever visiting an English speaking country.
Hi Max, this was enjoyable to do and had scored 11 mistakes out of 60. A1- 10 A2 - 7/10 B1 - 9/10 B2 - 8/10 C1 - 8/10 C2 - 7/10 I really liked the challenge of having tested my level of understanding of the written English. Thankyou. 🙏🙂
I casually found this test and tried to do it. I was surprised to make it all the way to the end, having most of the difficulty on C2. In total I made 18 mistakes and maybe it's not that bad for one who studied English at the middle school in Italy - you can imagine how it was taught - almost 50 years ago. Anyway It encourages me to begin to study seriously. It's never late, isn'it. Thank you 🌹
Wow! C1 and c2 is very interesting and challenging (I LOVED IT), and I realized they are more about advanced grammar and vocabulary. This test was really good! Thanks a lot!
American here - I was a poor student in English and therefore I felt my English was most likely amateur at best. However, I feel better about myself getting 59/60. Btw, I think it’s marvelous you show the bloopers at the end. If I were your student, I would appreciate seeing that no one is perfect, straight away.
Nice to see honest people here . I live in the Uk , I am portuguese and have dyslexia and scored 89%. I perceived that some expressions were more American and struggled on C1-C2. I also was terrible student and my english got better in the UK.
Native English speaker (American) Perfect score although there was one I could have answered with either of two choices ( verb tense sentence) however, I had the benefit of living in Australia for six years so I could see it working either way depending on the speaker's experience. It seemed more of a matter of 'style' than of grammar.I did increase the test speed to x2 because I found myself being distracted when it was too slow.
So TH-cam suggested this video. I must say it was fun doing the test. I am Dutch and learned English at school (and from watching series on TV) some 50 years ago and had a go at the test. Made 1 mistake in B1, 2 in C1 and 2 in C2. Not sure what my real level is but it was fun doing this test
Swede here. Interesting test. I managed to get 60/60, with one of the questions by elimination. I don't think I have ever come across the word "landfall" before, but I knew it wasn't any of the other words. There were about three other questions where I had to pause and think to get them right. I usually go by what feels/sounds right, and it's mostly correct, but not always. 😊
I'm Finn and I have to say, I'd kind of envy you Swede guys because you have the great advantage of belonging to the same germanic language tree, which greatly improves English pronunciation and also helps with words. For example Google translator speaking english with swedish setting sounds a little bit funny for sure but fully understandable anyway. But if you would change the Google translator speaking english with finnish speech settings or vice versa, that's a different story. 😂
@@coraynbell8991 it isn’t. I’m danish so danish is of course my first language and you can probably even say my second/third languages are Swedish and Norwegian growing up with children’s tv shows from both of those two countries from a very young age. Whereas I only learned a few words and phrases in English until I started having English lessons, in 4th grade I think…
@@justann1358 Zero mistakes is quite impressive (anyway how good the Danish education system be), IMHO. Congratulations. By the way, maybe someone could clarify why dear, beer, and zero have the same diphthong but in zero the pronunciation is different. 🤔
I have watched a lot of these videos/took the tests, to get a feel for my english level, but this one is the first one that made sense and actually kind of imitated the english-levels. As an austrian who is basically youtube taught in english, im very proud to have a perfect 60/60 result, especially taking the test at 2x speed since i wanted to fly over the first few levels and actually forgot about that fact in the end :D But its actually crazy to see what a few years of watching english videos (and no real other training) about all sorts of things can do to a human brain, because at first (6 years ago) i understood nothing (LITERALLY 0 vocabulary) and now its a reasonable assumption that im at a C2 level in english. Since the videos were mostly from american creators, i do have a heave american tendency in how i pronounce words but that for me is a good trade off for a free secondary language Never let anybody tell you, that you cant... if it works for you, its good. Never stop trying :)
Congratulation Austrian here as well, also with a 60/60 result..till the end of C1 level I felt totally unchallenged but at some C2 questions I finally had to start to think before answering..
Very impressive for someone who is "youtube taught in English," to have such a thorough grasp of all those less-than-rational, almost nonsensical idiomatic expressions!
A1 -> 10 A2 -> 9 B1 -> 7 B2 -> 8 (I didn’t pass C-levels because these are not my levels 😅) Thanks a lot for giving an opportunity to check my knowledge 😁
I actually anticipated much higher levels towards the end, may be because I was not familiar with the A1 to C2 leveling system. I had about 3 or 4 wrong answers throughout the whole levels combined but had no errors in C2 stage. I would love to see more challenging sets of test questions in future videos. Overall. I liked this one. Thank you for a job well done!
Fun video! I’m a native English speaker, but I’m learning Norwegian right now. It’s educational seeing the vocabulary that goes with different levels. I was hoping to get to C2 in a year, but I’m getting an idea how hard that will be. The English C2 vocabulary is pretty unusual even in more artistic literature, so for non-native speakers to get most of those is impressive.
Lol, welcome, Norwegian here - don't be too hard on yourself if you don't reach your goal, we have a weird language. I got all the questions except one (well, I got that too, out of logic), it's simply a way of saying something that depends on what kind of vocabulary they have those you're speaking to. Over the years I've never come across anyone saying "fork out", but I'm far more familiar with the Shakespearean "lo and behold!" 😂 Considering I've known English most of my life, this test's fairly easy, I watched this through because I had no idea what tests like this look like. I can't really tell if tests in Norwegian will be anything like this.
based on this test, you probably get English C2 covered if you routinely watch/read the news in English. I suppose that goes for most languages. Now where language gets really tricky is work jargon and local idioms. That's probably C3 and C4 ;-) understanding different accents and their idioms - you're probably doing shady business ;-) kidding.
@@mariec7092I figured landfall at least would be heard on the news ;-) I'm pretty sure I heard fork out when it came to prices going up. Or that thing about mishaps on holiday. Although I was amused to think about misfits in that context.
I must admit that you are such a clever teacher. The questions were simple but I couldn't pass it anyway. I had 9 mistakes. I need most of all vocabulary. I'm quite good in gramma. Thank you so much
I only had one mistake which was in C2 and that one was a choice between two answers that I have heard used. I picked the second which was incorrect. I still feel pretty good given that I only have a high school education; makes me feel like I had good teachers! Thanks.
It is a very helpful classes, especially for me since I am non English-native person. I also found some cultural-based manners in it, but overall is very fine. thanks!
That went pretty well I guess. I'm an English and Spanish teacher and I got every single one right from A1 to C1. I missed two in C2 but gladly I love to continue learning, so I wrote those two down. Thank you for dedicating so much time into this video! Have a great one!
Did a lot better than I expected! Living in Sweden English is my second language. I'm 16 at the time of writing this, and I hope by 18 I will pass c2. Thank you for making this test! It was a fun little challenge. A1: 10/10 A2: 10/10 B1: 10/10 B2: 10/10 C1: 10/10 C2: 7/10
Holy crap! I Leave in Poland i have almost 40 years, English it's my internet language and now i discover i dont know it at all :O Can't my mom born in England :D ( joking) I'm ipressed your score, gratz. Thx god i have translator next to my hand :D
@@kryspusss Your English is 100% better than my Polish 😄 Don't shoot me now ... I'm going to help you with correcting what you wrote - - I live in Poland - English is my Internet language - Couldn't my mom have been born in England? - I'm impressed by your score - Thank God I have a translator ... ❤️
haha, still so many errors, thx for corrects, maybe they will learn me something :D I'm thankfull other people are helpfull in general in Internet for a people with such poor Enghlish like mine :D English its internetional language and its first one to lear for everyone, so its better to know English than Polish for shure :D I don't know any good reasons to learn Polish by others :D
English is my third language. However I scored 54/60. I missed 6 questions in B2. I would like to continue with your tests and develop my English skills. Thank you very much for your great work and expect more from your.
Although I answered all of the questions correctly, it occurred to me, early on, that this is really more of a test for those who are just mastering English. For those of us who use English as our native language---I would have enjoyed, more of a challenge--and perhaps---at the highest level, some 'trick' or 'humorous' questions! This test was fun, however, and a good idea! 🙂 PS I am 76 years old, if this helps your survey!
I played this randomly, out of curiosity while cleaning. I bet I would have trouble in a test like this if it were in Spanish, and no chance in any other language. Unsurprisingly I got 100% of this correct, as English is my native language.
I'm 49 years old man from Malaysia.The score was; A1-8 Points A2-9 Points B1-8 Points B2-7 Points C1-6 Points C2-5 Points I surely believed my 18 years old daughter far better than me.Ha...ha... Thank you.
Thank you Max for taking the time to make this video. I got all 60 right and, if I'm honest, I found level C2 easy. I put this down to my age (68) when academic standards were generally higher and the fact that I am English may play a part too.
I think this video was made for non-native English speakers like myself, but I got them all right too, so it's no surprise you found this exercise easy if English is your native tongue.
I'm 65 and got all 60 right too. I was hoping for a D level, but realised it is intended for non-native English speakers which makes it a good test especially with the explanations of some words or idioms.
I’m a non-native English speaker but i managed to get to level c1. Idioms in c2 was hard though. I’ve got 4-5 questions wrong. It was surprising to see the quality of the questions! Please keep up!
I had a lot of fun in this test! I got every thing right up to B2, I got 1 wrong in C1 but since you said at the beginning 2 to 3 wrong, I think I am a C1 level as I also tried the C2 level but got 2 wrong. Either way it was still fun and I got learn some new things! Keep uploading awesome videos like this!
This was really nice, i got to the C2 level without problems, which surprised me a bit. I have learned English in school, like all dutch children but i really learned to speak and comprehend it afterwards. Due to travel, and especially lately seeing so much English movies and series, and content on TH-cam, i could expand my ability to understand and speak English. For me it's the nicest language in the world, really, it's so rich and colourfull. Writing in English is not something i do very often and i feel a bit awkward about that, so i hope you don't mind my mistakes.
Your English is very good for somebody speaking it as their second language! Just one tip to keep in mind while typing, "I" As in when you are referring to yourself, is always capitalized. For example: Yesterday I went to the beach.
Passed C1 test with only one mistake but when it came to C2 the phasal verbs and not very commonly used words killed me (4 mistakes). However, I still believe I would rate myself as C2
@@zsb707 Yes, there is, you ignorant! Dialects, accents, the language of poetry, vocabulary of certain professions like engineering of philosophy etc. C2 is the highest level of everyday standard English but there is definitely more than that.

Well done! And thank you!
I have a degree in meteorology and a double-minor in Swedish language and Scandinavian literature. English is my first language. I scored 100 with a couple of minor disagreements between Australian and American phrasing. My biggest lesson was....I admire even more now people who are learning English. Well done. I bow to you.
ebte
I felt an embarrassment to Americans!! These are basics of elementary school !
Frankly speaking i found no difficulties concerning a1 a2 b1 b2 and c1, all my answers were right, but c2 was a challenge to me only one question was right, this means that i need to do more efforts especialy concerning idioms and phrasal verbs thanks a lot for your endeavours Max.
😂got them all right... surprised myself.
Make efforts
De todas las preguntas he acertado la mitad. ¿ Que nivel es el mio ? Se qué me queda mucho por aprender. Gracias., el vídeo es muy bueno . ❤
To make an effort.
it's a bit strange to me that I made no mistakes in c2,c1 , but 1 error in b2 and 2 in b1.. 🤔😮
ps. have you noticed that the author have read the answers for question 30 in a different way than all the others... (instead of only reading those words she's read them with the verb... which made it easier to answer 🤔😉)
No mistakes, and thank you for going to the trouble to prepare this video. Also, you have a lovely speaking voice and pleasant demeanour.
No mistakes
It's been a pleasure to take this British-English test after living for almost 30 years in Canada and using no "real English" at all. I made 6 mistakes while answering the questions which, I think, is quite an achievement.
Well done!
Here's another test in case you're interested:

Thank you very much, for your very useful, great English teacher Mrs. Max. Orhan Baki, Şenlikköy- Florya/Istanbul- Türkiye.
I really enjoyed taking this test. I’m 64 and I sometimes wonder if I’m still up on grammar. I do these kind of tests daily to make sure my brain isn’t getting tired. Missed 3 out of 60 , not so bad. Narrator is very pleasant. I’ll look for other tests she has done.
Susan, I am like you. I try to take as many tests like this to test my mental acuity. I'll be 76 in 2 weeks. I missed #34 because I replaced a word in the question with a preconceived answer.
Just turned 90 ad scored 60/60 .Loved English and Maths in school.
Got 4 mistakes but I still enjoyed the fun and challenge...love it!
Well I too missed 3 out of 60 . I am 67 years old and very much like you I wanted to make sure that my English skills are still okay .
So do I Susan. I'm 75 and I must train my memory

That is great
Hello. I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for your videos. I watched them all on You Tube, at first I found it very difficult, but after taking the test I'm a little proud of myself. Level is A2.
I have been speaking English for 25 years (I learned it in school). But I am motivated to keep getting better. That's why I signed up for the regular lessons today and also subscribed to the channel. I'm watching you from Germany. Many greetings
Thank you very much for watching and subscribing! I wish you all the best!
@@EnglishwithMax Hello Max. Thank you for your nice answer and your wishes. I hope you're not doing too much strenuous stuff this Australian summer? Greetings from the German winter. I look forward to new videos from you.
What you have written is good and understandable English. I speak enough Spanish to get around, but it is certainy not pretty. I only say this becasue English has brorrowed so many words I can almost guess at a usabe word in Spanish. English is a bastard language. The basic structure is simple but painfully difficult at higher levels. Sometimes the rule is that it simply "sounds right". There are plenty of native english speakers the would have trouble with the C1/C2 levels.
@@ThomasMarkkleeberg I'm English, why
Sorry, please ignore that. Too much alcohol.
Good mood, desire, concentration, attention, etc., helps a lot.
I attended C1 and C2 tests and had one and four errors respectively. Very good experience for me. It taught me that not only I need a grammar base but also a common sense to answer some of the questions. I answered some of them just by experience I have. Thanks for conducting this test
Lucky you.
No mistakes. I can usually pass for a native speaker in writing, including academic writing, but have a noticeable Dutch accent when I speak. My main issue is that I sometimes use American English in a British context and vice versa. In the Netherlands, we are taught British English in school but are more exposed to American English.
In American English, one might say "will" versus "would" for #40. I had never heard the expression in #52 (American in Canada teaching IELTS/Oxford English). For #56, in America you could say "fork over" or maybe "dish out", but not fork out. I found this test helpful because brushing up on proper English when speaking a regional English is important for teachers. Thanks!
@@IloveJesusChristNowandForever An alternative viewpoint from a native British who attended an American high school. For 40 I definitely tend towards "would" but recognize that "will" is used (much more American) although it seems to have slightly different implications; I have heard "will" used but it still comes across as unusual/uncommon. For #52 it is definitely not a common expression, particularly as such situations are not common and thus it is not heard often, but occasionally some will use it. For #56 I would definitely say "fork out", although I have heard of "dish out" from Americans, but haven't heard "fork over" before. In general, it seems that this test is slightly more geared toward British English than American English.
Pretty much the same, except my accent is British enough to have almost anyone who isn’t in fact British, think that I am. Have even had British people ask me how long I’ve lived in Britain 😂
In South America you can also choose to learn British or American English
same in norway, fluent in english and american, english from school and american from media and wife, and i was complimented on my norwegian(my native language) in a grocery store where id been talking to my wife in line, and the clerk didnt understand my wife so she told me to say it in norwegian...
Hi, greetings from Congo in Africa! That's a great idea, to test oneself in English. I was surprised by the level of questions - what you call proficiency level C2 is just average in my country here. We study hard to master English. I'm proud to announce that I just hesitated at B1 #1 between "I'm closing" and "I'll close", and quickly spotted "I'll close". As a language practitioner myself, it's highly important to check my level every now and then. Looking forward to your next test !!! Thanks for your work. I'm so happy I got only one wrong !
My pleasure, Didier! Thank you for watching!

I'm a 72 years old man from KL, Malaysia. I scored 10 points for each level from A1 to C2. Thank you for your interesting and excellent effort.
Congratulations 👍.

I got all levels correct
If you'd like to try another one, I made a second similar video:
th-cam.com/video/JL_hByNSdPU/w-d-xo.html
I've never tested my level before but I got almost all answers right up to C1, but the vocabulary of C2 is just too advanced for me, thank you for the video
I had basic English in school, however I learned a lot more and faster while practicing talking, reading, listening and learned that there is a lot more to this language, how it differs in various dialects to understand Scottish, Australian, Irish or Mid-West American people is one thing, the next challenge pose non native English speaking people, like Indians, other Asian or African people is another level where it becomes clear that languages are all about communication and not about standard settings!
The same is of course with other languages like French, Spanish, Portugiese not to mention the large variety of dialects.
I had a perfect score. I would have been horrified if I hadn't. What I did have, though, was a really good giggle at one of the questions. Going for "a strain around the block" would not be that far-fetched for me. :) Thank you for an entertaining hour!
so, are you a Brit?

Hi, there
I missed 2-3. As an 😅advanced ESL student, I didn’t even pay attention to the difference between trying and try to - a no brainer for a native speaker. Your channel does help me improve my English skills. Thank you ❤
Great job! And my pleasure! :)
This was a fun test 😊 I was a bit surprised at the C2, but I guess I was lucky to get things that I was familiar with for the most part 😊
One miss on B2, one on C1, and one on C2. I’m not a native English speaker, so I’m happy with that 😊
Thank you for taking the time to put this test together.

Same here ! As a former English teacher in Romania ( so being Romanian) , I was very curious about my real level of English ( I actually studied English for only 7 years from the age of 12 till 18 when I finished high-school ) ! Thanks for confirming my pronunciation ( only 2words were strange for me , chamomile being one of them !) , but the C2 section was a guess section for me ! "Fork out" was the funniest of all ! 😅🤗😘😘😘
@@danielacinderella9501 I think teaching English is a different skill set than speaking English correctly. Probably you need a higher level of English than your students, but what you need most are good teaching skills, and good skills for teaching English.

@@EnglishwithMax Hi, sweetheart.
Wow, thank you for putting this together. I can’t believe I got of the questions right. I thought I might have been a little rusting towards the end, but nope! 😊
All your level tests were excellent except C1 and C2. Because they have been nearly most of them based on phrasal verbs,expressions and idioms which are very difficult for non-native English speakers. Instead, they could be mostly based on C1 and C2 grammar questions than vocabulary ones.Thanks for your tests!
Thank you for your comment.
I designed it that way because if you take English lessons, nearly all grammar points are covered by the time you reach C1. And getting beyond C1 is almost exclusively about improving your vocabulary.
I am Romanian and only made 2 mistakes on c2.
Thank you Max, very interesting and well presented quiz. I am so often appalled by the grammar I see in the comments left on TH-cam by people who are obviously native English speakers, so when I saw this quiz, I decided I had to try it for myself. Sixty out of sixty, I am happy to say but then I am rather particular about grammar and spelling as I majored in Business Communication at University and am also an English speaker so it was not too difficult at all. I must congratulate those people who's first language is not English, yet managed to score highly. Very commendable indeed.
Went into this thinking it should be a walk in the park. I knew my level was close to C2(I have had myself tested in all four sections and had C2 level scores), but I didn't know about fork out. Barring that one question, didn't even need options for most C2 questions. Most of them were the first responses that popped in my head. Anyway, I still ended up learning something new. Thank you for that. Nice video! 👌
M a graduate and was an english teacher. Thank you for your valueable test. I got all the guestions correctly answered except 3 Qs.I think thats not bad.thank you.
This is the first time I watch your channel . It is really useful . I enjoyed watching and listening to this test . It was enjoyable as well as gave me an indication of my English level . It became hard a little bit in level C 2 not grammatically but because of new vocabulary that I did not know . Hoping for more tests in the future . English with Max thank you so much for this amazing video !
Thank you! I'm very glad you liked it.
Thank you for correcting my mistake, because l had to use the present perfect tense . Actually I am not good at typing .
@@EnglishwithMax C2 IS VERY HARD I GOT 2 TRUE ANSWERES
@@ahmedhaji4104It has to be hard, obviously! 😂
Very interesting. Scored around 57/60. Although i did not know most of the vocabulary in c2 i was able to make out most of the answers due to context. like landfall is the only possible answer because 'fall' is the only verb that makes sense here etc. I found similiar solutions on the other ones. Really fun i think my english is somewhere around c1 although i sometimes still get the grammar wrong. Thanks alot really cool Video!
Living in Canada I had a perfect score on the C2 expressions and my native French helped. However I was surprised to see that the grammatical mistakes I used to make when studying English are still tripping me. Concordance des temps is my nemesis.
A1: 9/10, A2: 8/10, B1: 8/10, B2: 5/10, C1: 6/10 and C2: 6/10. Thank you for the test, it's highly appreciated 🤍
I missed only about 4 questions on the entire test. I really enjoyed taking it. I am American, and am glad I have British friends, because a few of the questions didn't "directly translate" into American English. Nevertheless, I am glad that the test had a British slant, because I think in general, Brits use much better English than Americans do. My father taught me that one MUST have a command of the language to get anywhere in this world. He could not have been more right.
That is ridiculous! I am Bulgarian and I passed it without mistakes. However my English is not good at all. I even need subtitles to understand movies in English.
This really depends on which part of America you're in. And moreso if you're rural/country or city. Most of the advanced level sentences simply don't have place on a farm or ranch... Or in the middle of nowhere... Meaning literally nobody speaks with such grammar.
We have a good command of English because, well English people like me have it as our native language with all it's historical development, accents dialects and all the cultural idioms. Tolkein believed, and I agree, that language transmits culture which is why it can be difficult to be fluent in another language. Even for most Scots, Welsh and Irish people English is used as a native language.
@@namonaraqnaq you don't need to be that bad in your comment dude. Damn just be proud of your mark but don't denigrate ppl
Sorry to sound rude. But I am objective. My English is terrible. The test is not a criterion. I guessed big part of the answers on the principle of exclusion.
Broadly speaking the test was a bit comparatively challenging at advanced levels as I made 4 mistakes at C 1, however when it comes to A1 2 as well as B1 2 I also. Made 4 mistakes at b2 and 1 all in all it was really avail for me to learn some fresh vocabulary as well as remind a breed of phrases and words thanks for inevitably great lesson ✊

Well done video, as a grammar teacher I can assure you that this test is quite relevant to measure the level of English knowledge. ✅

Thank you very much!
Missed 2. Age 60, native speaker, lived in Mississippi as a boy, Texas for 40 years now. In between, Spain, Singapore and England where I learned to speak Spanish, heard some variations to the idiom, and the proper way to speak, in "British". My English step-mother was properly schooled, intelligent, and easy on the eye. She pointed out some lingering speech issues-all good naturedly of course. At the time, she seemed to speak a different language. As a proper Yorkshire Rose she spoke French as well, but could speak as any from the British Isles might, includeing as the poorer, less articulate would. My command of the accents is excellent, almost as good as hers. Her American southern drawl is mediorce at best, but she only visited Mississippi one time. I attended an English school for a year; 3rd form (8th Grade). The curriculum at Stokesly Comprehensive was very advanced, I was soon lost in Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. Hanging on elsewhere. I was evaluated in Spanish by a man sent to my school to do so. I was deemed sufficient and thus didn't have to participate in the French class. Students learn French over their entire duration of school, by the 3rd form it's well advanced. Ironically, during English class I was able to excel- strangely, they were just now on adverbs, which I had covered some time before. At some point I took a broad, comprehensive test. It had most grades in the 50% region. I was aghast, as I knew Pops would have something harsh to say, to put it mildly. My friends assured me it was o.k.- in England they test to see your limits, their marks were as mine were. At home, Pops immediately took off his belt, to let it speak to me. Jane, my stepmom, was able to intervene at the last second, backing up my story of 'them testing to see your limits'. I narrowly escaped around the table, Pops was on the verge of not believing my "outrageous" story. That;s what I remember, 40+ years ago. For this and much more I am thankfull to all 4 that raised me. My parents and step-parents. I know it took the efforts of all 4 to raise me. All alive today, though Pops isn't doing so hot. He is well attended to, in Yorkshire. About time I went, methinks.
Miguel, I enjoyed reading your comment so much, I read it 3 times. What a wonderful writing skill you have there. I do expect to see a book with your name on it, sometime in the future. Big Cheers from Australia.

Could you possibly make more videos like this one? The video is really helpful. Only when people take the time and do your exercises can they know their actual levels in English.
I'll try!
Another suggestion:
Why not introduced an updated Mathematics exercises in order to improve the learner's skills in numbers & concepts in Mathematics & further their knowledge to teach with upcoming generations to come.
Mathemathics & English are both important in schools from elementary level of education through college education.

I'm a Japanese learning English as a foreign language for more than 15 years. I got 4 mistakes in the last section...I didn't know the phrase, "lo and behold."

I started learning Japanese. And then I went to Japan and lo and behold almost everyone spoke English! I love English.
"lo and behold" is an expression that's used to express surprise.

You're very welcome! Thank you for watching!
In my opinion, the past perfect tense is way too advanced for the B1 level. Anyway, I'm glad I passed the B2 level - 10/10. That was with a little bit of luck, though. Tomorrow, I'm going to try C levels, when I gather a little bit more focus - but I don't have a lot of expectations. I'm happy with my current level.
Thank you for this test! I finished with 56/60 correct answers, having one mistake each in B1 through C2. The B mistakes were due to lack of trust in my gut feeling, the C1 mistake was something I really didn't know, and question number 59 in C2 (the one about the body part) left me absolutely clueless because I had never even heard one of the four suggested solutions. But this result makes me very proud, knowing that I stopped having English lessons at school in 10th grade and afterwards learned it only through books and movies (well ... and computer games) without ever visiting an English speaking country.
My pleasure! And well done!

American here - I was a poor student in English and therefore I felt my English was most likely amateur at best. However, I feel better about myself getting 59/60.

Native English speaker (American) Perfect score although there was one I could have answered with either of two choices ( verb tense sentence) however, I had the benefit of living in Australia for six years so I could see it working either way depending on the speaker's experience. It seemed more of a matter of 'style' than of grammar.I did increase the test speed to x2 because I found myself being distracted when it was too slow.

@@mariebarker4499 In what way is your response related to the video?
Swede here. Interesting test. I managed to get 60/60, with one of the questions by elimination. I don't think I have ever come across the word "landfall" before, but I knew it wasn't any of the other words. There were about three other questions where I had to pause and think to get them right. I usually go by what feels/sounds right, and it's mostly correct, but not always. 😊
I'm Finn and I have to say, I'd kind of envy you Swede guys because you have the great advantage of belonging to the same germanic language tree, which greatly improves English pronunciation and also helps with words. For example Google translator speaking english with swedish setting sounds a little bit funny for sure but fully understandable anyway. But if you would change the Google translator speaking english with finnish speech settings or vice versa, that's a different story. 😂

I have watched a lot of these videos/took the tests, to get a feel for my english level, but this one is the first one that made sense and actually kind of imitated the english-levels.
As an austrian who is basically youtube taught in english, im very proud to have a perfect 60/60 result, especially taking the test at 2x speed since i wanted to fly over the first few levels and actually forgot about that fact in the end :D
But its actually crazy to see what a few years of watching english videos (and no real other training) about all sorts of things can do to a human brain, because at first (6 years ago) i understood nothing (LITERALLY 0 vocabulary) and now its a reasonable assumption that im at a C2 level in english.
Since the videos were mostly from american creators, i do have a heave american tendency in how i pronounce words but that for me is a good trade off for a free secondary language
Never let anybody tell you, that you cant... if it works for you, its good. Never stop trying :)
As an English speaking American, let me congratulate you. I'm no scholar, but I handle the language quite well and only got 58 out of the 60 correct.

Austrian here as well, also with a 60/60 result..till the end of C1 level I felt totally unchallenged but at some C2 questions I finally had to start to think before answering..
Very impressive for someone who is "youtube taught in English," to have such a thorough grasp of all those less-than-rational, almost nonsensical idiomatic expressions!
Got 10/10 wow that was 👌👌
A1 -> 10
A2 -> 9
B1 -> 7
B2 -> 8
(I didn’t pass C-levels because these are not my levels 😅)
Thanks a lot for giving an opportunity to check my knowledge 😁
I actually anticipated much higher levels towards the end, may be because I was not familiar with the A1 to C2 leveling system. I had about 3 or 4 wrong answers throughout the whole levels combined but had no errors in C2 stage. I would love to see more challenging sets of test questions in future videos. Overall. I liked this one. Thank you for a job well done!
i think the C level is mostly vocabulary, where the lower sections were more grammatical i think.
I had the correct answers just by reading the sentences when it first appeared, 100 percent correct . Easy Peasy.

Julia never mustered up the courage because she was too mulled over, so she meted out a humble plea from the tattered shreds of her ego.
Thank you! I feel better already.
Like one of the comments said born in New York and rise in the barrio I had like 5 wrong, and I said big deal,even like the test.
What a smashing test )) I didn't score more then 95%, that "lo and behold" drove me nuts ))) Thank you dear 😍
Hey Max, your test results indicate that my level is C2. It was interesting to attend an English test.
Fun video! I’m a native English speaker, but I’m learning Norwegian right now. It’s educational seeing the vocabulary that goes with different levels. I was hoping to get to C2 in a year, but I’m getting an idea how hard that will be. The English C2 vocabulary is pretty unusual even in more artistic literature, so for non-native speakers to get most of those is impressive.
I'm studying bokmål! It's going slow but I am enjoying it.
Lykke til! 👍🙂
Lol, welcome, Norwegian here - don't be too hard on yourself if you don't reach your goal, we have a weird language. I got all the questions except one (well, I got that too, out of logic), it's simply a way of saying something that depends on what kind of vocabulary they have those you're speaking to. Over the years I've never come across anyone saying "fork out", but I'm far more familiar with the Shakespearean "lo and behold!" 😂 Considering I've known English most of my life, this test's fairly easy, I watched this through because I had no idea what tests like this look like. I can't really tell if tests in Norwegian will be anything like this.
based on this test, you probably get English C2 covered if you routinely watch/read the news in English. I suppose that goes for most languages. Now where language gets really tricky is work jargon and local idioms. That's probably C3 and C4 ;-) understanding different accents and their idioms - you're probably doing shady business ;-) kidding.
@@mariec7092I figured landfall at least would be heard on the news ;-) I'm pretty sure I heard fork out when it came to prices going up. Or that thing about mishaps on holiday. Although I was amused to think about misfits in that context.
My first time
A1=10
A2=10
B1=10
B2=09
C1=09
C2=10
Not bad for an 81 year old! Thanks for the opportunity to test my understanding!
Thanks a lot. My level is B1
I must admit that you are such a clever teacher. The questions were simple but I couldn't pass it anyway. I had 9 mistakes. I need most of all vocabulary. I'm quite good in gramma. Thank you so much
I only had one mistake which was in C2 and that one was a choice between two answers that I have heard used. I picked the second which was incorrect. I still feel pretty good given that I only have a high school education; makes me feel like I had good teachers! Thanks.
It is a very helpful classes, especially for me since I am non English-native person. I also found some cultural-based manners in it, but overall is very fine. thanks!
Missed 2 questions. Was very fun and challenging. I came way with knowing that I have a very good grasp of the English language 😁
That went pretty well I guess. I'm an English and Spanish teacher and I got every single one right from A1 to C1. I missed two in C2 but gladly I love to continue learning, so I wrote those two down. Thank you for dedicating so much time into this video! Have a great one!
Great job! Thank you. You too!
Did a lot better than I expected! Living in Sweden English is my second language.
I'm 16 at the time of writing this, and I hope by 18 I will pass c2.
Thank you for making this test! It was a fun little challenge.
A1: 10/10
A2: 10/10
B1: 10/10
B2: 10/10
C1: 10/10
C2: 7/10
What a drama. A1 -mistakes, a2 2 b12
Thank you for watching! And all the best!
Holy crap! I Leave in Poland i have almost 40 years, English it's my internet language and now i discover i dont know it at all :O
Can't my mom born in England :D ( joking)
I'm ipressed your score, gratz.
Thx god i have translator next to my hand :D
@@kryspusss Your English is 100% better than my Polish 😄
Don't shoot me now ... I'm going to help you with correcting what you wrote -
- I live in Poland
- English is my Internet language
- Couldn't my mom have been born in England?
- I'm impressed by your score
- Thank God I have a translator ...
❤️
haha, still so many errors, thx for corrects, maybe they will learn me something :D I'm thankfull other people are helpfull in general in Internet for a people with such poor Enghlish like mine :D
English its internetional language and its first one to lear for everyone, so its better to know English than Polish for shure :D I don't know any good reasons to learn Polish by others :D
English is my third language. However I scored 54/60. I missed 6 questions in B2. I would like to continue with your tests and develop my English skills. Thank you very much for your great work and expect more from your.
You got 10/10 in C2? That’s awesome!
That's great
Although I answered all of the questions correctly, it occurred to me, early on, that this is really more of a test for those who are just mastering English. For those of us who use English as our native language---I would have enjoyed, more of a challenge--and perhaps---at the highest level, some 'trick' or 'humorous' questions! This test was fun, however, and a good idea! 🙂 PS I am 76 years old, if this helps your survey!
I played this randomly, out of curiosity while cleaning. I bet I would have trouble in a test like this if it were in Spanish, and no chance in any other language. Unsurprisingly I got 100% of this correct, as English is my native language.
I enjoyed watching the English-level test. Honestly, I could answer 60 questions correctly. I hope you can come up with more exercises like this one.
Well done! And thank you for watching, Isabel!
It's educational & fun. Thank you for this test! 🙏
My pleasure!
Thank you so much for the exercise you have given, Madam. It's really useful for me to increase my English knowledge.
This test is up my ally as i do love English

I surely believed my 18 years old daughter far better than me.Ha...ha...
Thank you.
Thank you Max for taking the time to make this video. I got all 60 right and, if I'm honest, I found level C2 easy. I put this down to my age (68) when academic standards were generally higher and the fact that I am English may play a part too.
I'm 58 and got all right, which wasn't difficult. The fact this video exists shows the decline in standards over the years.
I think this video was made for non-native English speakers like myself, but I got them all right too, so it's no surprise you found this exercise easy if English is your native tongue.
I agree. Academic standards on both sides of the pond were higher. I got all of the right and I'm a 76 year old American.
I'm 65 and got all 60 right too. I was hoping for a D level, but realised it is intended for non-native English speakers which makes it a good test especially with the explanations of some words or idioms.
I got 49/60. English is my second language. I got 5/10 in C2, I'm definitively in that level. This was interesting and fun. Thank you very much ! 🤩
49/60 for me too. I have Swedish as my first language. I just got 4 out of 10 on C2.
@@britt-mariebirkestad8360 Congrats !!
С1-2 mistakes, C2-3mistakes.The other levels-no mistakes. So I'm pleased. 🙂Thanks for the level test. I learnt a few new words and phrases.
My pleasure!
I’m a non-native English speaker but i managed to get to level c1.
Idioms in c2 was hard though. I’ve got 4-5 questions wrong.
It was surprising to see the quality of the questions!
Please keep up!
C2 is quite hard
I had a lot of fun in this test! I got every thing right up to B2, I got 1 wrong in C1 but since you said at the beginning 2 to 3 wrong, I think I am a C1 level as I also tried the C2 level but got 2 wrong. Either way it was still fun and I got learn some new things! Keep uploading awesome videos like this!
Well done! And thank you for your kind words!
This was really nice, i got to the C2 level without problems, which surprised me a bit. I have learned English in school, like all dutch children but i really learned to speak and comprehend it afterwards. Due to travel, and especially lately seeing so much English movies and series, and content on TH-cam, i could expand my ability to understand and speak English. For me it's the nicest language in the world, really, it's so rich and colourfull. Writing in English is not something i do very often and i feel a bit awkward about that, so i hope you don't mind my mistakes.
Your English is very good for somebody speaking it as their second language!
Just one tip to keep in mind while typing, "I" As in when you are referring to yourself, is always capitalized. For example: Yesterday I went to the beach.
@@kidkid Thank you, that's a good tip, I'll keep that in mind!
Well done! And thank you for watching!
I congratulate you on your channel, I would love it if you could take an English course, you have all the pedagogy and empathy to achieve it
Passed C1 test with only one mistake but when it came to C2 the phasal verbs and not very commonly used words killed me (4 mistakes). However, I still believe I would rate myself as C2
haha )) the same
life would be so much easier if our performance had no bearing on our rating! :)
Merhaba gunaydin cok iyi bir soru ben alamıyorum ams guzel
Thank you Max for the lovely test. I have two mistakes on B2 and three on C1.
No one is absolutely perfect, we make mistakes regularly. And from our mistakes,too be perfect.
That was great - Hope to see the test for D1 to F2 next!
You gotta be kidding 😆😊 ... C2 is the best level, there isn't anything beyond ...
@@zsb707 Yes, there is, you ignorant! Dialects, accents, the language of poetry, vocabulary of certain professions like engineering of philosophy etc. C2 is the highest level of everyday standard English but there is definitely more than that.
A1-7, A2-8, B1-7, B2-8, C1-7, c2-6
Thanks... Need your help more.
