If feasible, a short piece of writing would also help your final evaluation.
A short oral interview, alone or in pairs, would give you a more realistic picture of the learners’ communicative ability and help you decide if he/she should be placed at a slightly higher or lower level than that indicated by the placement test. It is important to note that the placement test is not designed to test listening, speaking or writing skills. The test has a multiple-choice format of 200 questions and covers the grammatical structures and vocabulary in the six levels of Speakout. It will help the teacher to place students at the correct level in groups of similar ability and/or to decide what pace and approach to adopt. Placement Test Instructions The Speakout Placement Test is designed as a diagnostic tool for use at the beginning of a course.
