How Our Italian Placement Test Works

Our Italian placement test employs a Computer Adaptive Test (CAT). This approach customizes the assessment to your unique proficiency level. The test spans essential components such as auditory and written comprehension, and grammar mastery, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of your skills.

The CAT dynamically adjusts question complexity based on your responses, ensuring each question is tailored to your abilities. For those proficient in Italian, the test may extend to cover advanced levels, culminating in a comprehensive evaluation. With the CAT, the test duration ranges from as quick as 10 minutes for beginners to about 1.5 hours for learners with extensive expertise.
