MOST POPULAR ENGLISH PROFICIENCY TESTS:

The most popular English proficiency tests are IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, CELPIP and the Cambridge English Qualifications of KET, PET, FCE, CAE and CPE. That said, IELTS and TOEFL are in a different league from the rest, because they are recognised and accepted by a large number of organisations, both in English-speaking and non-English-speaking countries.   

English proficiency tests are also widely used in the world of work. Employers, professional bodies and associations rely on test results to help them select the right people. So, producing good results in these tests can greatly enhance your work prospects.

Here is an overview of the most popular English proficiency tests:

IELTS (International English Language Testing System): IELTS stands for International English Language Testing System, and it is designed to assess the language ability of people who want to study or work where English is the language of communication. Recognized by over 11,500 organizations worldwide, it is the world’s most popular English language proficiency test for higher education and global migration.

TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language): TOEFL is an acronym for Test of English as a Foreign Language. It is the most prominent American English proficiency test and is accepted worldwide by universities and institutions. The language used in the test closely reflects how English is used in everyday academic settings, and the test content is entirely academic, with integrated tasks. Just as IELTS, this test also evaluates the four basic language skills of listening, reading, writing and speaking.

TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication): TOEIC stands for The Test of English for International Communication assesses your communication skills for the workplace. A total test score of 990 (equivalent to C1 level of CEFR) may be achieved, which is derived by adding the listening and reading scores. The test follows a different scoring pattern for the speaking and writing tests. Like the other tests, TOEIC scores are also valid for two years.

CELPIP (Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program): The Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program, better known as CELPIP, is Canada’s leading general English proficiency test. It assesses your English abilities in a variety of everyday situations and is mostly used for immigration and professional purposes. There are two types of tests available: CELPIP – General Test (3 hours), and CELPIP – General LS Test (1 hour). While the longer test covers all four language skills, the shorter version includes only speaking and listening.

Cambridge English KET, PET, FCE, CAE and CPE: These English proficiency tests have been developed by Cambridge English, a department of Cambridge University. They are recognised around the world by thousands of employers, universities and government ministries as proof of ability to use English. One unique aspect of these English proficiency tests is that the test results do not have an expiry date, which means that these qualifications are valid for life.

Let’s take a closer look at each of the Cambridge English qualifications.

  • KET (Key English Test): this is an elementary level exam that tests your ability to use English to communicate in simple situations. 
  • PET (Preliminary English Test): this test is at the intermediate level. If you have practical language skills for everyday use, PET will suit you.
  • FCE (First Certificate of English): this test can prove that you have the language skills to live and work independently in an English-speaking country or study on courses taught in English.
  • CAE (Certificate in Advanced English): It is an in-depth, high-level qualification that shows you have the language skills that employers and universities are looking for.
  • CPE (Certificate of Proficiency in English): this is the highest-level qualification offered by Cambridge English. It proves you can communicate with the fluency and sophistication of a highly competent English speaker.

ENGLISH PROFICIENCY TESTS COMPARISON:

Even though results in these English proficiency tests are not directly comparable, you can use the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), an international standard that defines language proficiency, as a benchmark to form some level of understanding.
