How to interpret your score

1. Total performance

Your English proficiency score is based on the combination of the three sub-scores:

• Fluency
• Vocabulary
• Spelling

Your raw scores are benchmarked against a comparison group in order to classify your results.

The percentile indicates the proportion of people in the comparison group with a raw score lower than that of the participant.

This means that a percentile of 70 indicates that your performance is higher than the performance of 70% of the comparison group and lower than the performance of 30% of the comparison group.

2. Processing style

The scores for speed and accuracy define the processing style of the participant. The raw score for speed results from the number of items attempted.

The raw score for accuracy results from the number of items completed correctly compared to the number of items attempted.

The raw scores of speed and accuracy are benchmarked against a comparison group and mapped on a scale from 1 to 9. The higher you score on these two dimensions - the faster and more accurate is your processing style.
