Language, organisation, and communication — assessed for the digital workplace. Results near-instantly.
What It Measures
Business communication has changed. Instant messaging on Teams and Slack is now the dominant mode of workplace writing, followed by email. The EnglishScore Writing Test simulates real-life digital workplace scenarios — not academic essays.
Accuracy, range
Coherence, cohesion
Task relevance, register
Test Format
Hear a sentence and type it. Word count: ~7 words (A2) to ~15 words (C1). 90 seconds per question.
Read a prompt and write your response. 20–40 words (A2/B1) or 50–70 words (B2/C1). 7 minutes.
See an image and describe it in writing. At higher levels, we're looking for interpretation, inference, and speculation. 5 minutes.
Read a scenario and respond in a chat-style format across multiple turns — simulating a real workplace conversation on Teams, Slack, or WhatsApp. 5 minutes.
Note: Auto-complete, spelling suggestions, grammar-checking tools, and copy-paste are all disabled during the test.
