Functional Skills English practice – Level 1

Functional Skills English practice – Level 1: 20 questions, marked instantly with every answer explained. Free, no sign-up, no adverts in the test.

Before you start

Functional Skills-style English practice at Level 1: possessive apostrophes, commas, grammar, spelling words used at work, fact and opinion, formal and persuasive language, specialist words, comparing two texts and reading a job advert. 20 questions are picked from a bank each time. The real reading and writing assessments also include longer writing tasks, which cannot be marked automatically, so this practice covers reading, spelling, punctuation and grammar.

  • 20 questions – a new mix each time you try
