TrackTest
View on Wikipedia |
TrackTest Online English Assessment Center or TrackTest is an online English language assessment solution launched in November 2012[1][2] that measures the English skills of non-native English speakers. The test is using the scale based on Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.[3]
It wants to create a 21st-century alternative to expensive pen&paper tests provided by established companies like ETS.
Services for companies and language schools include an easy-to-use online management console for managing tests, analysing results and the progress[4] of their students or candidates.[5] In 2014, TrackTest English Test was used by students from 173 countries and speaking 136 languages.[6]
The organisation is an institutional affiliate member of Association of Language Testers in Europe (ALTE), EAQUALS and others.[7]
Key Information
Format and scoring
[edit]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. [8]
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.[9]
