A look into our test
Test takers respond to questions and provide writing samples via computer allowing us to evaluate each candidate's grammar, vocabulary, organization, voice & tone and reading comprehension. Millions of data points are collected throughout the Versant Writing Test that feed into our patented scoring algorithm.
Sentence Completion
In this task, test takers read a sentence that has a word missing, and they supply an appropriate word to complete the sentence.
Performance on this task feeds into the vocabulary score.
Passage Reconstruction
During this question type, test takers have 30 seconds to read a paragraph before it disappears, then will have 90 seconds to reconstruct the paragraph in their own words.
Performance on this task feeds into the grammar and reading comprehension scores.
Email Writing
In the Email Writing task, test takers will read a description of a situation and write an email addressing the issues described in the situation.
