Frequently Asked Questions
Studies show that most people take a language placement test to determine their language level at some point in their life. And that’s exactly what a test is used for: to determine your existing language skill!
Everyone is familiar with the CEFR these days and A1 – C2 level system. Knowing your language level is important for many reasons, just to name a few:
- Enrolling a proper course in language school
- Fulfilling a job requirement
- Fulfilling university enrollment requirement
- Listing your competences in a CV
NGPTs utilize advanced statistical algorithm called ELO ranking system, which has never been implemented in placement testing before. Levels are divided into A1, A2, B1, B1+, B2, B2+, C1 and C2. Furthermore, each level is seperated into “low” and “high” sublevels, to determine the precise placement into your language courses.
Once the level has been determined using randomly selected Use of Language questions, candidates are provided with Reading Comprehension and Listening for that particular level, for further confirmation of their language competence.
Did you know that the strength of a chess player is based on their actual play? Advanced algorithms embedded in modern computer software assess chess players based on a move-by-move basis, as a game is being played. Each player subsequently receives a specific ranking based on the quality of their gameplay.
Even the most adaptive placement tests on the market do not utilize these kinds of advanced algorithms and are therefore not 100% correct, because there will always be some sort of individual factor that could potentially alter the final score. Our algorithms deliver a high level of testing adaptation and determine language level with surgical precision.

First-hand experience
“As an English language teacher, first I wanted to see how the test performs in English. By incorporating various types of exercises, including the use of English, listening, and reading, these tests cover all areas required for a precise evaluation of someone’s knowledge.”
“The use of English sentences is creative, the reading comprehension texts intriguing and engaging, and the listening recordings loud and clear. As for the adaptive algorithm, NGPTs do exactly what they’re supposed to, as I made some mistakes just to see how the system would react. The transition was seamless and I saw the tasks getting easier after I got some of them wrong.”
“During the testing of my Spanish, I felt like I got the most out of the adaptive feature considering my knowledge of this language is fairly inconsistent. Actually, I was surprised by how much of my Spanish I forgot, so this served as a great reminder that I should brush up on my Spanish skills.”
“I was more than happy to get back into the role of a student and test out this promising platform. Not only can NGPT help teachers utilize an easy-to-use and effective solution for determining the knowledge level of their new students but it also allows them to see where their existing students are in terms of learning materials mastered.”
“In some countries, X is used for correct answers, and in an inclusive test, another way to choose the correct answer should be used. The NGPT has avoided using ticks and crosses in the questions. Also, confusing images were not used in the NGPT. The NGPT does not have a time limit and this is another inclusive aspect of the test as this helps the issues related to reading and working memory. The NGPT was designed with these issues in mind and even the fact that it is a digital test of course makes it more inclusive.”
“The usual scene at the language school: a member of staff is escorting a prospective student to her desk in the empty classroom. The standard procedure is about to begin: the placement test to determine the initial level of language competence.
However, this time the routine seems to be a completely different one: instead of the usual five or so pages with the 100-odd questions, the candidate is given a tablet; instead of the lengthy instructions on how to mark the correct answers and then copy them onto the separate answer sheet, the instructions this time take only a few moments. A couple of clicks, and the test can start.
And immediately there is the look of intense focus on the candidate’s face. Not a trace of confusion or doubt as the touch-screen responds to swift movement of the index finger and the questions line up one after another, seemingly effortlessly…”
