Assessment Terms & Support

Updated September 19, 2026.

Free assessment access

The English placement assessment by Daniel Martin is free of charge. No purchase, subscription, or payment information is required. Each learner account receives one free attempt. Saved progress can be resumed; submitted sections cannot be restarted. Textbooks and course applications are not included.

What your assessment includes

The assessment covers reading, language use, and writing, with up to three sections. Allow approximately 20–60 minutes. Grading provides a provisional course recommendation and a printable newspaper-style certificate bearing your full name and estimated Pre-A1, A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, or C2 level. Results are generated automatically, usually within 1–5 minutes. Your result and printable certificate copy are emailed to you and four designated program staff recipients at Missio Dei and First Orlando. No particular level is guaranteed. This is not official CEFR certification; listening and speaking are not assessed.

Saved progress and technical problems

Use “Save progress” before leaving a section. You can return to the same account and resume that attempt at no charge. Submitted sections cannot be edited or restarted. If grading is delayed, your submitted answers remain saved. Use the retry-grading option or contact support if a result is missing.

For help, email support@esl4life.com from your account email. Include your order or attempt number and a description of the problem. Never email passwords, full card numbers, or security codes. We will investigate access and grading failures and help recover the same attempt where possible.

Previous paid purchases

The assessment is now free. The following refund information applies only to earlier paid purchases. Contact us about duplicate charges, an unused purchase you wish to cancel, or a technical problem that prevents us from providing the assessment. If we cannot provide the purchased service because of a confirmed technical failure, we will refund that purchase. Approved refunds are returned through the original payment method; the payment provider and your bank determine when they appear. Refunding a purchase removes access associated with that order.

A lower-than-expected score does not by itself qualify for a refund or free retake. You can request a review of the existing result without purchasing another test. This policy does not limit rights that apply under consumer law.

Your name and your work

Check your full name before starting. Work independently without AI, dictionaries, or translation tools. You may invent details in writing tasks and should avoid private information. Read the Privacy Policy before submitting writing for AI-assisted grading.
