FAQ
Common questions about the CRE Use of English test
The current Civil Service Bureau format is 40 multiple-choice questions in 45 minutes, covering Comprehension, Error Identification, Sentence Completion, and Paragraph Improvement. Results are Level 2, Level 1, or Fail, with Level 2 the highest.
CRE Use of English is a language proficiency test designed specifically for civil service recruitment. It is entirely multiple-choice, focusing on grammatical precision, reading comprehension, and error identification. There is no writing, listening, or speaking component. Compared to IELTS or DSE, CRE focuses more on grammar details and official English comprehension.
Generally, DSE English Level 3 or above provides a foundation. However, since CRE emphasises grammatical precision and error identification, targeted revision on common grammar points like subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, and preposition usage is recommended.
CRE Use of English results are valid permanently. Once you achieve Level 2, you can use the same result for future government job applications. If you only achieved Level 1 but your target position requires Level 2, you may retake the exam.
