Scores are based on the Global Scale of English (GSE) as well as the CEFR, meaning progress can be measured in small increments within each level.
This test is course-agnostic, meaning it measures real language skills and progress to enhance any teaching programme.
Relieve the burden of time and resources spent creating, administering and marking tests - while minimising human error and receiving reliable results.
Backed by market-leading AI technology and developed by the team who created PTE Academic, trusted by governments and universities worldwide.
The test assesses all four language skills, returning at-a-glance data for individuals and your class as a whole - as well as more detailed descriptions of ability in each skill.
The results also include tailored guidance for students and teachers, with direction to the specific courseware and activities that can help.
Fitting neatly into a 45-minute lesson, this test has been designed to give useful information about student progress in a way that enhances, rather than disrupts, the learning process.
With an appropriate computer, headset and Internet connection, the test can even be taken at home – and results are returned within minutes.
Backed by Pearson’s leading artificial intelligence scoring technology, Benchmark Test offers a choice of levels to support all students: A, B1, B2 or C.
Questions focus on abilities relevant to that level to provide detailed, reliable results.
The Benchmark Test works alongside the Pearson English Level Test to first stream students, and then track their progress in detail.
Both tests are administered via Pearson English Test Hub, delivering rich insights into your learners' needs and the effectiveness of your teaching programme, plus tailored recommendations for improvement.
