Frequently asked questions

Answers to some common questions about the site. If yours is not here, please write to us on the Contact page.

Is English Tests Online free?

Yes. All the quizzes, lessons and PDF worksheets are free, and so is an account. The site is paid for by the adverts on quiz and lesson pages.

Which levels do the tests cover?

The tests go from beginner (A1) to advanced (C1), using the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). If you are not sure of your level, start with one of the level tests. They give you a rough idea of your level, not an official result.

Can I download the tests as PDFs?

Yes. Most tests have a printable PDF version with the answer key. You can find them all on the PDF worksheets page.

Do I need an account, and what does it save?

You can take every quiz without an account. Without one, your results are kept only in the browser you used. A free account keeps your finished quizzes, scores, points, streaks, badges and saved tests, and you can see them on any device. When you sign in, the results kept in that browser are added to your account. You can sign in with a password or with a link we email to you.

Can children under 13 use the site?

Anyone can take the quizzes. Children under 13 may have an account only if a parent or teacher agrees. Under-13 accounts are never shown on the leaderboard, and only a parent or teacher can change the age setting later, by contacting us.

I think a quiz has a mistake. What should I do?

Please tell us on the Contact page and choose “Mistake in a quiz” as the topic. Include the title or web address of the quiz and the question number. If the quiz is wrong, we will correct it.

I am a teacher. Can I use the materials in class?

Yes. You may use the quizzes in your lessons, set them as homework and print the PDF worksheets for your own students, and you may share links to any page. Please do not copy the material to other websites or sell it. The Terms of Use have the details.

Why are there adverts?

The adverts pay for the hosting and for the time it takes to write and check new tests, which keeps the site free for everyone. There are no adverts on your account pages. If you would like to help in another way, you can make a donation.

How do I download my data or delete my account?

Sign in and open Settings. “Download my data” gives you a file with everything saved in your account. “Delete my account” removes your account and everything saved with it, and it cannot be undone. The Privacy Policy explains what we keep and why.
