The EF SET Quick English Check is a shortened version of the EF SET English Certificate designed for test takers who need to get a general idea of their English level without investing time in taking a longer test. Teachers often use the Quick English Check as a placement test to determine which study group their students are best suited for.

Test structure

The EF SET Quick English Check is a timed test that lasts 15 minutes. It tests reading and listening comprehension. The Quick English Check scores are low, medium, or high English proficiency which correspond to CEFR levels A, B, and C. Unlike the other versions of the EF SET, the EF SET Quick English Check is not an adaptive test, so if taken more than once, the questions will be identical on each test taking session.

Availability

Like all the EF SET tests, the EF SET Quick English Check is available online for no cost. The results of the Quick English Check can be published directly to LinkedIn as an English certification, although the EF SET English Certificate is used more often for certification purposes because it delivers a more precise score.
