Many parents often wonder if their children's English level is up to scratch or, in fact, better than average. Some ask after official qualifications that can be beneficial for their future career or current education. I understand the struggle but we need to remember that just because a lot of people have a B2 or a C1 doesn't mean it's a piece of cake (easy).
So, what's the answer? The British Council have come up with a fantastic solution to this timely question: APTIS (para jovenes):-

As you can see it's a level test which is very similar to an official Cambridge exam. It's the best way for you and your teens to verify their English level as well as getting a taste of what an official English exam is like.
For this exam we would need to revise suitable vocabulary topics like:-
- social networks (ICT)
- homework and studies (education)
- events (suited to their age; parties, fairs, outdoor events, etc.)
- school sports (hobbies and their leisure time)
This test is computer based and the results will be ready within a week of the test (compared to four to five weeks for an official exam).
Here are some sample grammar questions from the test:-
1. Written grammar
He ______ me that the machine was broken.

To sum up, the beauty of this test is that you are not only tested for one level but tested to verify your level so your result can be anything from A1 to C.
