A few report-ready prompts from this test
These are pulled from the same playable diagnostic. The user can see the kind of answer, explanation, and result signal they will get before committing to the full run.
Audio choice
Listening
1. Audio choice / Listening
B1Listen to the fast phrase and choose what it means
What did you hear?
Best answer
Did you get it?
Mini explanation: Didja is a fast casual reduction of did you. The key is hearing the hidden did + you before the main verb.
Report signal: Fast speech is often about reductions, not unknown vocabulary.
2. Multiple choice / Naturalness
A2Choose the sentence a native speaker would actually use
Which sentence sounds most natural?
Best answer
I took a photo.
Mini explanation: In English, the natural collocation is take a photo. Make a photo sounds translated in everyday English.
Report signal: Translated collocations are easy to understand but make English sound less natural.
3. Sentence ranking / Naturalness
B1Rank the sentences from most natural to most translated
You want to talk about a picture you captured on your phone.
Best ranking
1. I took a photo on my phone. 2. I got a photo with my phone. 3. I made a photo on my phone.
Mini explanation: Take a photo is the clean natural phrase. Get a photo can work in limited contexts, while make/do a photo sound translated.
Report signal: Ranking exposes whether naturalness is automatic or whether every option still feels equally possible.
4. Multiple choice / Grammar
A2Choose the preposition with the searching meaning in this sentence
I lost my keys and I am trying to find them. I am looking ___ them.
Best answer
for
Mini explanation: Look for means search. Look at means direct your eyes toward something.
Report signal: Verb plus preposition patterns are a high-signal grammar weakness.
5. Typed answer / Vocabulary
B1Look at the image and type the missing word
The window is ______.
Best answer
shattered / broken / cracked
Mini explanation: Shattered is more precise than broken when glass has broken into many pieces or cracks.
Report signal: Precise visual vocabulary makes English feel sharper and less basic.
