Self-assessment checklists
Here you can find checklists for each level of German that should help you get a rough idea of
where you’re at. If you can (honestly) mark at least 80% of the checkboxes, it should mean that
you’ve managed to get to the said level, congratulations! Following checklists are in German:
A1 - A2 - B1 - B2 - C1 - C2
But also available in English here (A1 - C2).

If you need a rough overview what your current level might be, there is also a CEFR-grid for you
to use.
