English Language Level Test

Just four simple steps to success.

Why choose the ELLT?

Four stage assessment

Four stages to assess your English language ability in each skill: reading, listening, writing and speaking. Your reading and listening will be assessed through an automated, secure online test and writing done through a unique written task. You’ll take your speaking exam live with an examiner over a video call.

Completed 100% online

Unlike other language level tests, our English Language Level Test is administered completely online via our ELLT Portal. Our portal is a user friendly platform and has been designed to work in areas with low bandwidth, avoiding possible disruptions as you take the test.

Recognised by many universities*

The English Language Level Test (ELLT) is an alternative to IELTS that provides you with evidence of your English language level for entry into top UK universities or other education institutions. You can see all the institutions who currently recognise the ELLT below.

Test costs £80

Once you have registered and paid for your test online, you will have immediate access to the first three stages (reading, listening and writing). Each of these can be taken individually, and once completed you can book your speaking assessment with an examiner.

“It was an awesome experience. The modus operandi of the test in which it was organised was very explicit and vivid. Additionally, my speaking assessment experience was undoubtedly great. Examiner was very polite and her way of taking assessments was really friendly. Overall, my experience was very good and the administration is very cooperative as well.”
