Q: Who are these assessments for?

These assessments are designed for:
• Learners preparing for Cambridge B1 Preliminary (PET)
• Students planning for B2, IELTS, or TOEFL, ELPAC (California)
• Anyone who wants a clearer picture of their English and what to improve next.

Q: Are these official Cambridge tests?

No. These are unofficial diagnostic assessments created by an experienced English teacher. They follow Cambridge-style formats to help you understand how similar exam tasks work and where you need practice.

Q: Do I need to prepare or study before taking an assessment?

No preparation is needed. These assessments are designed to show how you use English right now, not how well you studied.

Q: Are the assessments graded automatically?

No. These assessments focus on self-reflection, not scores. After you submit your answers, you will see model responses to help you compare your work and notice patterns.

Q: How long does each assessment take?

Each assessment takes about 10–15 minutes. You can complete it in one sitting, and there is no time pressure.

Q: What happens after I complete an assessment?

You will receive:
• A sample response
• A short reflection checklist
• The option to book personalized feedback

Q: Are my answers saved or shared?

Your answers are private. They are used only to show you model responses and to support feedback if you choose to book a session.

Q: Can beginners take these assessments?

These assessments are best for A2–B1 learners and above. If you are a complete beginner, a live lesson is a better starting point.

Q: Can I get professional feedback on my answers?

Yes. You can book a 30-minute review lesson on Verbling with Marie for clear, individual feedback on your speaking or writing.
