French Self-Test

Do you want to register for a French course at UCT for the first time?

Then we ask you to first take our online French self-test. This will give you a reliable indication of your current level and allow you to immediately register for the course that best suits you.

Note: Have you recently taken a French course at UCT and passed the final test? Then you do not need to take the self-test. You can register directly for the next level.

How does it work?

First, take the online self-test. The test consists of listening and reading exercises, and questions about vocabulary and grammar.

  • Number of questions: 26
  • Duration: maximum 35 minutes
  • Result: you will immediately see which course best matches your level.

Then schedule a short oral conversation. At the end of the online test, you can make an appointment for a telephone oral test. This test helps us determine your level even more accurately.

Note: Only make an appointment if you actually plan to register for a course.

Important tips

  • You can only take the test once.
  • Interrupting is not possible.
  • So make sure to take the test in a quiet environment, with enough time and a good internet connection.
