9/1/2563 Score Report https://www.versanttest.com/support/score 2/2 TO IMPROVE, A CANDIDATE AT THIS LEVEL SHOULD: Practice listening to recorded or broadcast material (e.g., news reports about events, accidents, the weather, etc.) and extracting essential information. Practice giving a presentation on immediate, everyday topics to classmates or colleagues, answering follow-up questions and asking for repetition if necessary. Practice pronunciation by modeling target sounds. Practice reading short news reports, magazine articles, emails, etc. and extracting the main points.

TYPING SPEED AND ACCURACY Some sections of the Versant English Placement test require written responses; therefore, the candidate must have adequate typing skills to be scored fairly and accurately. This table shows how quickly and accurately the candidate was able to type during Part E: Typing. Typing speed is the number of words typed in one minute. Typing accuracy refers to the percentage correctly typed. For a valid Writing score, candidates should type faster than 12 WPM with higher than 90% accuracy. TYPING SPEED (WORDS PER MINUTE: WPM) TYPING ACCURACY (% WORDS TYPED ACCURATELY) 14 WPM 77 % RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER SCORES AND LEVELS Research has been conducted to explore how a Versant English Placement test overall score relates to other scales that measure or describe language proficiency. Descriptors from the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (Council of Europe, 2001) were used by experienced raters while listening to and reading candidates' performances and deciding on their levels of competence. TEST/SCALE SCORE/RANGE GSE Corresponding GSE score: 23 The Global Scale of English (GSE) is reported on a scale from 10 to 90. The GSE has been aligned to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and provides a common, empirically validated equivalence for Pearson tests measuring English ability. CEFR Corresponding level in the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR): A1 - Basic User CEFR global-level descriptor: Can understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases aimed at the satisfaction of needs of a concrete type. Can introduce him/herself and others and can ask and answer questions about personal details such as where he/she lives, people he/she knows and things he/she has. Can interact in a simple way provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help. Note: The Versant English Placement test and other tests/scales address different constructs or language proficiency. Therefore, predictions are approximate.
