Understanding the world
EF SET was built to the same standards as some of the world’s leading English tests, so you should feel confident about encouraging your students to share their results on LinkedIn – and with employers and university admissions officers.
Tailored to your students
Students receive a comprehensive analysis of their language level as soon as they've answered the final question. This includes comparisons to other language tests – like Cambridge English, TOEFL and IELTS – and to national and international averages according to the Common European Reference Framework (CERF).
100
During testing, EF SET responds to whatever language proficiency your students demonstrate – becoming more advanced as they answer questions correctly for the most precise results possible.
EF places great value on young learners. That's why we also compile a more focused English Proficiency Index for Schools (EPI-s) once every two years. This details the language acquisition of high school students and helps EF conduct research to improve language teaching. andCountriesregions
The EF EPI is the world's largest ranking of countries by English skills. The huge index – created using the data from the EF Standard English Test – informs government bodies and research institutions about current levels of English proficiency around the world.
