Frequently asked questions
Why not writing?
The ALIGN® test is designed to efficiently assess the core English language skills of reading, listening, and use of English. While writing is an important skill, we have found that our current format allows for a comprehensive assessment of a learner’s proficiency while also keeping the test duration reasonable. Moreover, it avoids the necessity for raters, thereby providing immediate results.
Why compare it with IELTS?
Comparing ALIGN® with well-established tests like IELTS helps in illustrating the benchmark of the quality and reliability that ALIGN® offers. It aids potential users in understanding the standard of proficiency measurement they can expect from our test, leveraging the familiarity and trust that educational institutions have in existing tests like IELTS.
Why align it with CEFR?
Aligning with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) ensures that the ALIGN® test adheres to international standards, facilitating a clear and comparable understanding of the proficiency levels across different institutions globally. It aids in maintaining a consistent standard in language proficiency, which is recognized and accepted worldwide.
Why not C2 level?
The ALIGN® test is primarily targeted towards high schoolers and undergraduates, focusing on levels from A1 to C1, which covers the range of proficiency levels most commonly encountered in this demographic. Including C2 level, which represents a mastery of the language comparable to a highly educated native speaker, is beyond the scope necessary for most educational and professional settings that the test is designed for.
