To place users correctly, the program begins with an optional placement test. This is a timed 64-question exam, lasting 30-45 minutes, that tests vocabulary, grammar, reading, and listening skills. For those who are confident in their existing skills, or for returning users, a self-assessment tool is also available, allowing learners to manually select their starting level. This flexibility is a key feature, ensuring that learners are not forced to repeat material they already know or, conversely, thrown into lessons that are far too advanced.
