How can I assign the placement test?

In this article, we'll cover how to assign the placement test to students and classes.

The features mentioned in this article are available to Teachers on paid and free subscriptions. Access to the complete placement test is limited to paid subscriptions; free subscriptions include only the grammar section.

Our placement tests are valuable tools for assessing your students' English proficiency levels. By assigning a test, you can identify their strengths and areas for improvement, allowing you to create a customized learning plan that addresses their specific needs.

We offer two different placement tests:

  1. Standard Placement Test: Comprehensive assessment with balanced evaluation across all domains.
  2. Adaptive Placement Test: Smart assessment that adapts to student performance in real-time.

This article is comprised of two sections:

  1. Assigning the placement test as a Teacher
  2. Assigning the placement test as a Manager
