Our exam includes reading, writing, listening, and speaking sections to evaluate real-world communication skills comprehensively.

• Standardized Assessment – Our test follows CEFR guidelines, ensuring that results are clear, structured, and internationally relevant.
• Practical Application – The exam assesses not just theoretical knowledge, but the ability to communicate effectively in everyday, academic, and professional settings.
• Speaking Component – Unlike many other exams, we include an in-depth speaking section to evaluate pronunciation, fluency, and real-world conversational skills.
