About the English test and certficate

The EnglishScore test is delivered on a mobile phone, so it requires different security measures and rules.

We use security features such as face monitoring technology through your smartphone’s selfie camera. You must be alone in a quiet place with your whole face clearly in the camera during the test.

These rules help give you and organisations confidence that your results are accurate and reliable.

To take the test and purchase a certificate, you will need to turn on your test security.

Once the test is complete, EnglishScore awards you with an internationally recognised CEFR level from A2 to C1 and a more detailed score between 0 and 599 aligned to the CEFR framework. This is a recognised global standard for describing language levels. You can use your CEFR score to compare results with tests such as IELTS, TOEIC and TOEFL.

The British Council EnglishScore Professional Certificate is recognised by leading employers and education institutions around the world.

You can use a Professional Certificate to help advance your career, including applying for a job or to enhance your CV.

EnglishScore is also available for businesses, universities and colleges that are looking to conduct English tests at scale. Learn more here:https://www.englishscore.com/for-business/

The task where you need to choose a title for the text felt somewhat challenging, as even when the text is fully understood, it can sometimes be difficult to determine which option is intended to be correct. It would also be helpful to add question numbering (e.g., Q. 1 of 3). Some tasks contain only one question, while others contain several, making it difficult to plan the time correctly. It would be great if the post-login questionnaire did not need to be completed after every login

I took the core skills test in May twice and I was really pleased with the experience and the app in general, but the app stopped working about 2 months ago. When I try to open the app, it shows the "Welcome to Englishscore" text and then just freezes in a purple screen, the problem's still there even though I just tried again after updating to the latest version. I hope you can help me because this bug makes the app completely useless and I actually wish I could give it another try. Thanks

It won't let me go past the initial questions to access my profile! The app asked me to update and now I'm unable to retrieve my certificates!
