Take the Placement Test to assess your current language knowledge. It only takes 5 minutes and covers various language skills. At the end, you’ll receive a suggested placement level.
If you already have some knowledge of the language, you can decide whether to continue your Busuu course from there or start from the beginning.
When you join Busuu, we’ll ask you to take the Placement Test. You can also take it later or reassess your skills anytime.
To take the Placement Test on our website, click your Profile icon, go to Settings, then click the Take Placement Test button. On our app, go to your Me tab, tap Settings, and find the Take Placement Test button.
You’ll need to be in a Complete course to be able to take the test. Please note that completing the Placement Test won’t skip or mark any previous lessons as completed.
The Placement Test is currently available for:
- 🇳🇱 Dutch
- 🇬🇧/🇺🇸 English

Please note that completing a Placement Test does not skip or mark any previous lesson within your course as Completed.
Please note, completed Placement Tests can mark vocabulary words and grammar topics from previous levels as ‘mastered’ (not needing review). For instance, if you’re placed at A2, you may not see words or grammar topics from A1 in your Review section, even if you’ve completed the associated lessons.
