How the levels work

A1 to C1 are levels of the CEFR, the Common European Framework of Reference.

Each question is a short version of one CEFR can-do statement. The source is its Companion Volume, 2020.

This is a guide, not an exam. Pick the answer that is true on an ordinary day, not your best day.
