Language Level CEFR Self-Assessment Grid
Please use the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) self-assessment grids below to estimate your current language level. You may then report this estimated level for the relevant foreign languages on your application. There are 6 levels according to this scale as described below A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2. You may also more formally test your language level here.
