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.
1. Object hunt / Real life
B2Find the target objects in the scene
Preposition trap: Find these objects in pharmacy shelf: stapler, invoice, charging cable.
Best answer
stapler / invoice / charging cable
Mini explanation: This visual vocabulary item checks whether the learner can connect object words to a messy real-life scene quickly.
Report signal: Visual search makes vocabulary feel like a game.
2. Sentence order / Real life
B2Tap the actions in the correct order
Preposition trap: Follow the English instruction sequence.
Correct order
open the settings tap privacy turn off location sharing
Mini explanation: Instruction following checks whether the user can process action order in English, not just recognize individual words.
Report signal: Short, diagnostic, and reusable across tests, funnels, and practice loops.
3. Multiple choice / Naturalness
B1Decide fast: natural or translated?
Preposition trap: "She explained me the rule"
Best answer
Unnatural
Mini explanation: "She explained me the rule" sounds translated. Better: She explained the rule to me.
Report signal: A quick swipe that exposes translated English instantly.
4. Audio choice / Listening
B2Choose the implied meaning, not the literal words
Preposition trap: Listen to the speaker. What is implied?
Best answer
The speaker is politely saying the decision probably needs to change.
Mini explanation: Softened English often hides criticism inside polite wording. The correct answer captures the practical implication.
Report signal: Short, diagnostic, and reusable across tests, funnels, and practice loops.
5. Audio choice / Pronunciation
A1Listen and choose the word you hear
Preposition trap: Did you hear ship or sheep?
Best answer
ship
Mini explanation: The target audio is "ship". This generated-vault item isolates one sound contrast so the report can separate listening from spelling.
Report signal: Short, diagnostic, and reusable across tests, funnels, and practice loops.
