Sample questions from the estonian test
Real items from the test bank — one per level band. The full test adapts from A1 to C1.
Mina ja mu vend ___ Tartus.
- 1elan
- 2elad
- 3elame
- 4elavad
Show answer
Correct: elame
"Mina ja mu vend" is a first-person plural ("meie") subject, so the verb takes the 1pl ending -me: "elame". "Elan" is 1sg, "elad" is 2sg, and "elavad" is 3pl.
Kui mul ___ rohkem aega, õpiksin hispaania keelt.
- 1on
- 2oli
- 3oleks
- 4olen
Show answer
Correct: oleks
An unreal (counterfactual) condition pairs the conditional in the kui-clause with the conditional main clause: "Kui mul oleks … õpiksin". The present "on" gives an open, real condition, not the hypothetical one matched by "õpiksin".
Kui ta ___ tagajärgi, ei oleks ta seda ülesannet vastu võtnud.
- 1oleks teadnud
- 2teaks
- 3teadis
- 4teab
Show answer
Correct: oleks teadnud
A counterfactual past condition uses the conditional perfect in both clauses: "Kui ta oleks teadnud … ei oleks ta vastu võtnud". The present conditional "teaks" gives a present-time hypothesis, and the indicative "teadis/teab" cannot pair with the counterfactual main clause.

Methodology
This is the same placement engine used inside the Lenguia study-plan product. It combines 35 multiple-choice grammar, reading and vocabulary questions with listening items on real recorded audio, 10 short writing prompts and 5 speaking prompts, ordered from A1 to C1.
Scoring uses a pass-threshold model: each CEFR level is "passed" when you earn roughly two-thirds of its available points, and your result is the highest level you pass consecutively starting from A1. This rewards consistent competence rather than lucky guesses. Results range from A1 to C1 (the test does not grade C2).
The items are informed by the competency descriptors of the Council of Europe CEFR framework. This is a free self-assessment: results are a reliable orientation, not a certified proficiency measurement.
The competency descriptors follow the Council of Europe CEFR framework.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is this Estonian cefr level test?
It uses the same item bank and pass-threshold scoring as the placement engine inside Lenguia's study-plan product, so the CEFR estimate is consistent and repeatable. Like any online self-assessment it is an orientation, not an official certificate.
Is it really free? Do I need an account?
Yes — the full test, the result and the shareable certificate are free, with no signup. If you create an account afterwards, your result can be used to build a personalized study plan.
What levels can I get?
A1, A2, B1, B2 or C1. A level counts as reached when you earn roughly two-thirds of its points and have passed every level below it. C2 is not graded.
Can I retake the test?
Yes, as often as you like. Questions within each level are shuffled, and your latest result replaces the previous one on this device.
Do I need a microphone?
Only for the short speaking section — you can skip those questions and still get a full result for the other skills.
