First, please check your computer system. Does it meet the technical requirements? (see What technical requirements must my computer have for the test?).

When you start the test, you are given an overview of instructions. In addition, you are given an example of each type of test item before you are given items to answer. Q: How do I mark a test item/select an option as my answer? All of the test items are multiple-choice. To select an option as your answer, click the box next to the option you choose. You must verify each answer by clicking Continue button at the lower right hand corner of the screen before you move to the next test item. Q: Is the test timed? Yes. In the upper right hand corner you see a timer. It shows you how much time you have for each test item. Q: How do I view my results? Immediately after you complete the last test item your results will appear on the screen. The results consist of two numeric raw scores, a total numeric raw score, and a score based on the Common European Framework (CEF) Proficiency Scale. Q: Are the results sent by email?
Yes. The results are sent immediately to the email address that you input into the registration page of the test. Q: I took the test but I did not receive the results by email. What should I do?
