How it works

Each test samples words from our CEFR-leveled decks, from A1 essentials to C2 mastery vocabulary. You mark each word as known or unknown, and we estimate your total vocabulary size from how you perform at each level. It takes about 3 minutes and works on any device.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the vocabulary size test free?

Yes. The test is free, needs no signup and runs in your browser. You can retake it as often as you like, and each run draws a fresh random sample.

How long does the vocabulary test take?

About three minutes. You tap through a sample of words from A1 to C2, marking each one as known or unknown, and your estimate appears at the end.

How is my vocabulary size estimated?

The test samples words from CEFR-leveled decks at every level. The share you recognize at each level is scaled to the size of that level and the totals are added up. It is a directional estimate, good for deciding where to start studying, not a certified assessment.

Which languages can I test?

Every language listed above has its own test, built from that language's CEFR-leveled decks. Pick one to start.

What should I do with my result?

Start studying at the level where you stopped recognizing words. The decks are free, and reviews are scheduled by FSRS spaced repetition, which brings each word back just before you would forget it.
