Free, ready-to-use English diagnostic tests for Common Core, 1st Bac, and 2nd Bac — each level has a Language test (Vocabulary, Functions, Grammar) and a Skills test (Reading, Writing), both multiple-choice (QCM) for fast correction.
Common Core Diagnostic Test
A Common Core diagnostic test checks what students bring in from Middle School, before a full year building the foundation for 1st Bac.
1st Bac Diagnostic Test
A 1st Bac diagnostic test shows how much of the Common Core year actually stuck, before moving into more demanding grammar and writing tasks.
2nd Bac Diagnostic Test
A 2nd Bac diagnostic test is especially useful with the National Exam ahead — knowing exactly where the class stands in September, not January, gives real time to close gaps that matter.
Why Diagnostic Tests Matter at High School
Each level builds directly on the one before it — but students don’t all arrive having genuinely mastered the previous year. A diagnostic test surfaces real gaps early, before they compound across a full year of new content.
What Each Test Covers
Language: Vocabulary, Functions, Grammar
Multiple-choice questions covering vocabulary, functional language, and grammar appropriate to the level.
Skills: Reading & Writing
A reading passage with comprehension questions, plus a writing task, closer to what the exam itself will ask of students.
Use it to group, not just to grade
A diagnostic given in week one is a genuinely useful tool for informal grouping — pairing stronger and weaker students for early-year activities.
