Format and scoring
TrackTest English proficiency level exams are provided online and are provided in two formats:
1. Core test (receptive skills- grammar, reading, listening) lasts approximately 45 minutes with immediate results. For a successful pass, it is required to achieve 65 per cent or more correctly answered questions.
2. Complete test (both receptive and productive skills- Core test + Speaking&Writing).
Both tests are provided in two versions based on the delivered level of security:
a) Standard– provided online “as is”, without the invigilation or proctored by the organisation administering the assessment.
b) Verified– proctored and verified directly by TrackTest. These tests are taken in a proctored online environment with online invigilation via webcam and with the candidate's identity verified by TrackTest. Certificates are equipped with a photo of the candidate.
In 2013, TrackTest introduced TrackTest Score for better progress tracking of users. It is a dynamically calculated numeric score in the range from 0 to 1200 using the algorithm based on all other user results and reflecting the difficulty difference among the levels.
