The scenes and objects within the test design will be familiar to young learners, and include a mix of accents and people. The question style reflects real-life English, asking students to listen and respond, instead of just completing multiple choice questions.
English Benchmark simplifies lesson planning by providing recommendations for what to teach, based on your students’ performance. Once your students take their test, you will see a summary of their performance across speaking, listening, reading and writing, giving you an understanding of their strengths and weaknesses.
The experience with English Benchmark has been very entertaining for the children because they perceived it as a game; therefore they did not experience anxiety or stress despite it being a test. It was a wonderful experience for us as an institution as well because it was our first time working with this type of tool that will help us grow and improve.

Use the test at the beginning of the school year to understand students' English proficiency and identify learning needs.
The test enables teachers to monitor students’ progress throughout the year and provides key data to inform instruction.
As the test is aligned to CEFR and GSE it can help you check whether students are ready for exams like PTE Young Learners.
English Benchmark uses the same automated scoring technology as products including Versant and PTE Academic. These tests are trusted by governments, universities and major corporations around the world as proof of English ability for visa applications, recruitment and student admissions.
To create our automated tests, we ask hundreds of human markers to examine sample test results. We then feed this data into our scoring algorithm, which allows the engine to predict how a human would score each test.
English Benchmark’s password-protected administration tool, School Portal, gives teachers easy access to view detailed descriptions of capabilities for individual students and across the entire class, recommended lessons and activities in partnered courseware for improvement, suggested Global Scale of English (GSE) Learning Objectives, and instant download access to teacher and parent-friendly reports.
English Benchmark has been a great resource in our aims of providing students with the individualized learning experiences they need while learning English. It is very helpful to have reliable evidence of the students’ learning process.
