We call this approach Test Driven Learning, meaning that tests are no longer something you do to simply evaluate your progress they’re tools to use to actively improve. French-test.com uses a terribly clever (if I do say so myself) set of algorithms to analyse your capabilities. It does this through simple French tests and quizzes, detailed CEFR based exams, personalised assessments (based on gap analysis and your specific need) as well as several soon to be released Kwiziq based language games, that interpret your game play and responses to help further evaluate your level. We’re gathering all sorts of interesting group data too – helping us identify common problems amongst similar profiles of user and will soon be releasing a set of teacher led testing tools so teachers can incorporate additional testing and learning material into their curriculum easily.
So if you want to know how good your French really is, take a French test now!
