CEFR estimation

Level Test: The assessment starts near B1/B2. A correct response raises the next target difficulty; an incorrect response lowers it. Questions are drawn from the 300-item bank without repetition.

Note: The adaptive calculation is an educational approximation inspired by psychometric/IRT principles, not a formally validated CEFR certification test.

Introduction to Communication Skills

LSRW + Core Grammar & Vocabulary Diagnostic Test

A 50-question adaptive diagnostic drawn randomly from a 300-item pool. The engine moves from easier to more advanced items and adjusts the next item's difficulty using an IRT-style provisional ability estimate.

300-item pool50 questions at each of A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2.

Adaptive pathCorrect answers push difficulty upward; incorrect answers pull it downward.

LSRW + languageListening, Speaking, Reading, Writing, Grammar and Vocabulary.

CEFR reportEstimated A1–C2 level with domain-wise performance.

Important: The CEFR mapping is a diagnostic estimate, not an externally validated CEFR certification. For high-stakes placement, calibrate the item bank against real student data and validated CEFR tasks.

Adaptive scoring is based on correctness, item difficulty and provisional discrimination. Speaking/writing production tasks are recorded for the learner's review; automated scoring is limited to task completion and should not be treated as a validated language assessment.

Interpretation

Psychometric method used

Each item has a provisional difficulty parameter (b) mapped to the six CEFR bands and a discrimination parameter (a). After each response, the learner's ability estimate is updated using a bounded IRT-style step. Item selection then samples unused items near the current estimated ability, with a small random component to prevent identical sequences. This is a practical adaptive-testing scaffold; it is not a substitute for empirical IRT calibration, equating, or a validated CEFR standard-setting study.
