The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the validity of a specific multiple choice test to situate a student above or below a B2 pro fi ciency level according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL). The research process and the results, not the product, are the focus of this work. After carrying out a pilot study of the test with 214 students, results regarding its reliability and validity are statistically analyzed and explained in detail. It is demonstrated that a properly designed multiple choice test can discriminate whether or not a student has reached the required B2 level according to the CEFRL.
