Reliability
Designed to deliver stable and reliable measurement across different ability levels and repeated test attempts.
Questions adjust to each test taker's level, improving precision and efficiency.
Different test forms reduce memorisation and question overexposure while maintaining comparable difficulty.
Stable results across repeated attempts, with reliability ranging from 0.82 to 0.90.
Assessment and scoring performance are continuously monitored to ensure consistency and accuracy.
AI Scoring
AI scoring models trained on thousands of expert-rated responses deliver fast, scalable, and consistent speaking and writing scores.
Unlike human scoring, AI scoring applies the same standards to every response, helping improve consistency across large-scale testing.
Validation studies show very close alignment between AI-generated and expert-rated scores.
