French level test — FAQ

How accurate is a quick placement test?

Good enough to pick your starting shelf. Eighteen questions can’t measure speaking or listening — for that, a short conversation with a teacher settles it precisely, which is exactly what the free lesson is for.

What do A1, A2 and B1 mean?

They’re CEFR levels — the international scale from A1 (beginner) to C2 (mastery). Full picture with timelines on the levels roadmap.

Can I retake the test?

Anytime — each quiz shuffles its questions. Retake it monthly and watch the sections fall.
