Hiring a tutor sounds nice. Would allow you to also ask some questions that have been bugging you and practice speaking.
Yeah no the official tests are really expensive… I did a placement test for free at a local language learning center but not sure if they are always for free.
And I believe it’s exactly as you say: it will just click one day when you notice you can understand most if not all what was said! And I definitely noticed the same with going back (during a placement test) to basics and realizing how easy some stuff is.
I’ve gotten good results with moving on without getting stuck too - I still heavily depend on context but I can ask someone to explain a word that I don’t understand (very simplified explanation that requires gestures) and it has really helped me learn.
