One test, four skills, about 40 minutes. The Education House English Proficiency Test adapts to every answer, so children, teenagers and adults are each measured precisely at their own level. You get a CEFR level for each skill, a certificate that anyone can check online, and a personal report on what to practise next.

Why this test
Most English tests give everyone the same questions. Ours doesn’t.
It adapts to you
Every answer chooses the next question: a right answer leads to a harder one, a wrong answer to an easier one. Nobody gets bored with questions that are too easy or discouraged by questions that are far too hard.
4
All four skills
Grammar and vocabulary, reading, listening, writing and speaking – not just a multiple-choice grammar check.
A–C
An international scale
Results use the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages), the scale used by schools, universities and employers around the world.
A certificate you can prove
Every certificate has a unique number and a QR code. Anyone can check it on our website in seconds.
The test
The four parts of the test
The number of questions depends on the student: the test stops as soon as it has measured the level precisely enough.
Use of English
Grammar, vocabulary and reading: sentences, dialogues, notices, messages and short texts.
Listening
Everyday conversations, announcements and short talks with clear British voices. Each recording can be played twice.
Writing
Spelling, word order and short typed answers.
Speaking
The student answers questions aloud about pictures and short spoken questions. Answers are checked by speech recognition on our own server and reviewed by a teacher when the computer is unsure.

Technical requirements
What you need to take the test
Device
- Computer (Windows, Mac or Chromebook) – recommended
- Tablet (iPad or Android) – works well, upright or sideways
- Phone – works; a computer or tablet gives the most comfortable experience
Browser
- A current version of Google Chrome (recommended), Microsoft Edge, Safari or Firefox
- Nothing to install. JavaScript must be on (it is by default).
- When the test asks to use the microphone, press Allow.
Headset
- Headphones with a microphone (a headset) for the Listening and Speaking parts.
- Wired headsets are the most reliable. Check that the computer uses the headset microphone, not a built-in one.
- The test has a sound check and a microphone check before it starts.
Internet
- One person: a stable home internet or 4G/5G connection of at least 5 Mbit/s.
- A group: about 10 Mbit/s download and 5 Mbit/s upload for a class of 30 (more is better). One test uses roughly 5–8 MB of data, mostly the listening recordings and the spoken answers.
- If the connection drops, nothing is lost: the test shows “Connecting…”, and every answer is saved on the server. Students can even continue on another computer.
Room and time
- A quiet place – background noise makes the Speaking part harder to hear.
- About 40 minutes for the test, plus a few minutes to log in and practise. Plan 50–60 minutes in total.
For schools (group testing)
- Test one computer in the testing room before the test day.
- Make sure the Wi-Fi can handle the number of devices (as a rule of thumb, no more than about 30 devices per access point).
- Charge tablets and laptops, and have spare headsets.
- If your school uses Safe Exam Browser, we can provide the configuration file.
Quality and privacy
A test you can trust
- 3,000 questions, written for this test and checked question by question. The test picks from a large pool, so students next to each other rarely get the same questions.
- Developed by Education House Language School, Bangkok, following the Thai Basic Education Core Curriculum and reporting on the CEFR.
- A licensed private school. Education House Language School is licensed by the Office of the Private Education Commission (OPEC), Thai Ministry of Education – school code 1110204824. Check on the OPEC website
- Fair Speaking marking: if the computer can’t hear an answer clearly, it asks the student to try again instead of giving zero. Unclear answers are checked by a teacher.
- Your data stays with us. Results are stored on Education House’s own server in Thailand. We never ask for a national ID number. Speaking recordings are deleted after about one year. Privacy Policy
The Education House English Proficiency Test is an independent test developed by Education House Language School, a private school licensed by the Thai Ministry of Education (OPEC).

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How long does the test take?
About 40 minutes. The test stops each part as soon as it has measured your level, so it is often shorter.
How should I prepare?
You don’t need to. Just make sure your device, headset and internet work, and do the test in a quiet place.
How much does it cost?
The normal price is 499 THB per test. For a limited time, the introduction price is 249 THB. Buy 5 tests and pay for 4: 5 tests cost 996 THB. A retake costs 249 THB.
Do I need to come to Education House?
No. You sign up, pay and take the test online, from home or the office, whenever it suits you. Schools and companies can book group testing – contact us on LINE @educationhouse or at [email protected].
Is it the same as IELTS or Cambridge exams?
No. It is Education House’s own test. Like those exams, it reports your level on the CEFR scale, so you can compare your level with their requirements.
Where is the certificate accepted?
It is commonly used for school and course placement (including EP/MEP programmes), progress reports, portfolios, CVs and job applications. Each school, university or employer decides which certificates it accepts, so check with them if you need it for a specific purpose.
Can I use it instead of IELTS, TOEFL or TOEIC?
Not where an organisation requires one of those exams – for example for visas, government posts or some university admissions. Our test is a fast, affordable way to know your level and track progress, and the CEFR result helps you see how close you are to the level those exams ask for.
Can I take it again?
Yes. A retake costs 249 THB. Sign up and pay online in the same way, and you receive a new username and password.
What happens if my internet stops?
Your answers are saved. When the connection is back, the test continues where you stopped.
How is Speaking marked?
Speech recognition on our own server compares your answer with the accepted answers. When it is not sure, a teacher listens and decides.
How long is the certificate valid?
The certificate shows your English level on the date of the test. Many schools and employers ask for a result from the last one or two years.
How can someone check my certificate?
They scan the QR code on the certificate or enter its number at cefr.eh.ac.th/verify.
Can parents help their child during the test?
Please don’t. The result is only useful when it shows what the child can do alone.
