The English test with fast and accurate results
Linguaskill is a multilevel English test with results in 48 hours. It is done via computer and assesses the level of a candidate, or group of candidates, quickly and accurately.
Format
Linguaskill is a modular online test that evaluates the four language skills: reading, listening, writing and speaking. This gives you the ability to choose which skills you want to test.
Linguaskill is available in two options, General and Business. This gives you the ability to choose the type of language to be tested based on your goals.
Linguaskill General
Linguaskill General evaluates the language used in daily life, making it perfect for university admission or graduation, for job selection processes that take place in a non-business environment. For example, if the employee needs significant knowledge of English to carry out their role effectively but does not require specialized business terminology.
Reading & Listening (Combined)
It is adaptive, so there is no fixed number of questions. Each question the candidate answers helps the system better understand what the candidate’s level is. The test ends when the candidate has answered enough questions for Linguaskill to accurately identify their level.
| Times | Type of questions: | |
|---|---|---|
| Reading | 60-85 | Read and select Candidates read a notice, diagram, sign, memo, or letter containing a short text and choose the sentence or phrase that most closely matches the meaning of the text. There are three possible answers. Phrases with blank spaces Candidates read a sentence in which a word is missing (blank space) and choose the appropriate word to fill in that blank space. There are four options for each blank space. Multiple Choice Blanks Candidates choose the appropriate word or phrase to fill in the blank spaces in a text. There are four options for each blank space. Open-ended answer blanks Candidates read a short text in which some words are missing and write the missing word in each blank space. Extended reading Candidates read a longer text and answer several multiple-choice questions. The questions follow the same order as the information in the text. |
| Listening | Listen and select Candidates listen to a short audio recording and answer multiple-choice questions with three possible options. Extended listening Candidates listen to a longer recording and answer several multiple-choice questions that build on it. The questions follow the same order as the information they hear on the recording. |
