Test takers upon the completion of a LanguageCert USAL esPro test will receive:
- Test Report: presenting separately but in a clear and easy-to-understand way the candidate’s score for each test taken (Listening & Reading ⃰ , Writing, Speaking), and a summary of “Can-Do” statements aligned with CEFR levels. These are functional/ situational statements that describe what a candidate would be expected to do at a work place at a specific CEFR level in Spanish.
- Certificate: presenting the candidate’s results corresponding to a level from A1 to C2 for scores of 10 or above.
Please note that if a candidate’s score is between 0-9, the provisional results after finishing the Computer-Based test will show a score of 0.
⃰In the case of the Listening & Reading test, the candidate receives a Test Report presenting the overall score resulting from the combination of the two skills, as well as the separate scores of the two language skills.
