Linguaskill test format

The online proctoring option means that you can take the test on the date of your choice (Linguaskill is an on demand exam) and in the place that best suits your needs, which may be at home or at work. You don't need specialised equipment, just a computer, a good Internet connection, headphones and have the online proctoring software installed.

Linguaskill is a flexible, modular assessment, which tests:

Test format

Reading & Listening
60-80 min. approx.
Writing
45 min.

Speaking
15 min. aprox.


Administer the test onsite using just a computer, internet connection, a microphone and a set of headphones. No specialist software or equipment is needed (check technical requirements).

Linguaskill has three parts:



Reading and listening: 60-85 minutes (7 parts)

The Reading and Listening module is adaptive, so there is not a fixed number of questions. Each question the candidate answers helps the computer to understand their level better. The test finishes when the candidate has answered enough questions for Linguaskill to identify their level accurately. Results for the Reading and Listening module are provided immediately.


Writing: 45 minutes (2 parts)

The Writing module asks candidates to input answers using a computer keyboard. Answers are marked automatically by the computer. Results will be available within 12 hours.


Speaking: 15 minutes (5 parts)

The Speaking module is taken using a computer with a microphone and headphones. Questions are presented to the candidate through the computer screen and headphones, and their responses are recorded and assessed by examiners. Results will be available within 48 hours.
