Why an online test is only the first step

A written test measures grammar and vocabulary well, but not speaking. People usually score one step higher because they know the grammar, while speaking lags behind. That is why at Inlingua Baku your level is confirmed with a short conversation before you join a group. Every level explained, with a self-assessment table: CEFR levels A1–C2.
