Adaptive placement without the pile of papers
Paper tests ask a beginner and a near-native the same fifty questions, then wait for a teacher to mark it. NGPT asks each candidate exactly those questions that contribute to accurate placement.
| Topic | Paper or fixed test | NGPT |
|---|---|---|
| Questions | The same selection of questions for everyone, regardless of their level | 18 to 30 questions, each chosen based on candidate's own answers |
| Marking | A teacher marks it and decides the level | Scored the moment the candidate finishes |
| Where and when | At the school, on placement day | On a phone or computer, from any location with internet access |
| Result | A mark out of fifty and a judgement call | One of 8 CEFR levels, a score inside it and the margin |
| Variability | Repetitive | Questions drawn afresh for each candidate from a bank of thousands |

Add your candidates
Type them in, import your list or let your own booking system send them through the API.
Send the test
Each candidate gets a personal link by e-mail, in your wording and with your school's logo.
They take it anywhere
On a phone or a computer, with no account and nothing to install. One question at a time.
Read the result
Level, score and margin are in your portal the moment they finish, with a PDF of their test.
A result you can depend on
Eight levels from A1 to C2, with B1+ and B2+ for the long stretch where intermediate classes divide. Inside the level, a score from 10 to 89 shows whether the candidate is at its lower or upper end.
The margin tells you how sure the test is, and when a candidate sits close to a boundary the result says so. That is the difference between a label and a decision about which group to open.

Short, because every question counts
The difficulty of questions is calibrated against more than 190,000 answers from real test takers - that means our validation comes from data instead of subjective rating. Questions continue to be evaluated and calibrated with every single completed test.
The test asks the questions that tell it most about this candidate, and stops early when one level is clearly the most likely. In simulation on our English bank, 25 questions put 99 of 100 candidates on their level or the one next to it.
Five languages, one way of working
The same test, the same levels and the same portal for every language you teach. More than 7,900 questions in all.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the test take?
Usually 15 to 20 minutes. The test asks between 18 and 30 scored questions, plus up to 3 new questions that are being tried out and do not count. It stops early when one level is clearly the most likely, so a clear-cut candidate finishes sooner than one who sits between two levels.
What does the test measure?
Grammar and vocabulary in use: the candidate completes sentences by choosing or typing the missing word. From A2 up, a short reading text and a listening recording at the candidate's level follow, each reported separately as a score out of 5. NGPT does not test speaking, so most schools add a few minutes of conversation when the student arrives.
Can candidates look up the answers?
Each candidate's questions are drawn afresh from a bank of thousands and chosen one at a time from their own answers, so there is no paper to pass on. Answers are checked on our server and the correct answer is never sent to the candidate's device. As with any test taken at home, nobody watches the candidate; a placement test only helps a student who answers honestly, and it is worth telling them so.
What happens if a candidate never takes the test?
Then it costs you nothing. A test counts as used only when the candidate starts it. If an invitation is cancelled, or is not used within 30 days, the test goes back to your balance by itself.
Where is candidate data kept, and who can see it?
It is stored on servers in the European Union; e-mails are sent through a provider based in the USA, as the privacy policy sets out. Your school decides what is collected, and no other school can see its candidates or results. We process the data on your behalf and look at it only to run and support the service. You can delete a candidate at any time, which removes the name, e-mail address, phone number and date of birth.
