Leading language learning innovation The EF English Proficiency Index (EF EPI) is the world's largest ranking of English skills – developed to better understand how to raise language proficiency. Used by the EF EPI, the EF Standard English Test (EFSET) is the world’s first free standardized English test created by us in collaboration with leading linguists, testing experts and academics.

The EF Standard English Test Built for success EFSET was built to the same standards of reliability and accuracy as some of the world’s leading English tests so your students can confidently prove their fluency to university admissions and employers.

A full evaluation Your students' results include a comparison of where their EFSET score ranks in comparison to other language proficiency exams – like the Cambridge English, TOEFL and IELTS.

Tailored to you EFSET responds to whatever language proficiency your students demonstrate as it unfolds – becoming more advanced as they answer questions correctly for the most precise results possible.

Defining the future Every completed test is securely recorded and analyzed to improve language learning material for students around the world.

Immediate results Your students will receive a comprehensive analysis of where their language skills are according to the Common European Framework of Reference as soon as they’ve answered the final question – which can be shared on their LinkedIn profile.

From start to finish Use the EFSET to measure your students' language skills throughout the school year. They'll receive a comprehensive analysis of their language skills for certified proof of their progress – and of your success.
