There are six levels of English proficiency. Each of them is a kind of indicator of how ready a person is to perform various kinds of language tasks: translation (online/offline), professional communication, communication between people at the level of simple understanding, etc.
English Levels
There are many levels and sub-levels according to different systems for determining the level of English (CEFR, TOEFL, IELTS, Cambridge Exams, etc.). But the main ones are those that are indicated in the working resume.
- Basic (base).
- Intermediate (intermediate).
- Advanced (progressive).
- Fluent (free).
The lower bar for passing an interview for knowledge of English is the average level. However, there is one caveat. At present, it is preferable for the employer to have a high level of language proficiency, which is possible only with constantpractice.
Levels are classified and can be determined by the student themselves from a description that indicates the number of words in the stock, the information that the student needs to know, his manner and ability to speak with others.
How to determine the level of knowledge of English?
It's easy to do. It is most convenient to use English-language sites for this, designed specifically to determine the level of English. On such resources there is a text:
"Test your English. This test is a quick way to test your knowledge of the English language. You will be given fifty sentences in which you must click on the correct word to place it in the gap. At the end of the test, the system will show you the percentage of correct answers and determine your level of English. Warning: the quick test is designed to determine the level of English and cannot accurately reflect the knowledge of the language. Upon arrival at the educational institution, you will take a full test of your skills, and then start learning."
As you can see, these tests will only prepare the student for a full test, and will not provide comprehensive information about knowledge of the language. But still, one should not neglect their significance, because irreproachable conclusions can be drawn even when passing such, at first glance, ridiculous testing.

It is common in these tests to use a large number of blank sentences. Amongadditional words you need to choose the correct answer.
Another form of the quest is similar but slightly different. Given a word that needs to be converted independently. This is the so-called grammar part of the test. It is also necessary to determine the level of English.
Also, sites with an audio recording will help determine the level of English. The student needs to listen to it and then answer the questions.
You can also find paid tests, the results of which will give you the following:
- multifaceted test (listening, reading, grammar, writing);
- points;
- providing full information about the level of knowledge of the language;
- official certification of the result;
- the ability to use a certificate when entering an educational institution or applying for a job.
However, the last paragraph does not exempt from additional verification directly at the institution.
