Starting your learning path

Welcome! 👋 Here you’ll learn more about the Slang General English Test and how to take it for assessing your English level.

💡 Note: If you are an individual user, you will not have access to the test.

What is the general English test?

Language is an extremely complex phenomenon. It takes much more than just memorizing vocabulary or grammar structures to be able to understand the unspoken intention behind a persuasive speech, or to respond politely to a frustrated client. In other words, we believe that proficiency in a language is best measured by the learner’s ability to communicate with others. Slang’s General English test tries to capture at least some of this linguistic complexity by measuring a learner’s ability to use language skills in communicative contexts.

Our test has the ability to measure proficiency from beginner to advanced intermediate level. We’ll have a comprehensive picture of your skills in reading, grammar, listening, and speaking.

Keep in mind that the results of the test are not about passing or failing, but for us to customize your study plan to your needs.

💡 Note: If you are interested in measuring technical English ability within a specific field, Slang also offers professional English tests for this purpose

Beginning your learning path

If you are part of an organization, after creating your account you will be taken thorugh the account setup steps. There, you’ll be able to:

• Set your study goals
• Choose your role
  • Note: If your manager already chose it for you, the option to choose your role will be frozen. If this is the case, you can skip this step. However, if it is mistakenly chosen, please contact your manager or us at support@slangapp.com to change it.
• Answer a questionary about your English knowledge. Here, you need to be as honest as possible! There are no wrong answers. The level of your English test will be setup according to the results of this questionary.

At the end of the account setup, you’ll be taken to the following page:

Here, you can choose either to go to the homepage or start your test right away. Remember that once you start your test, make sure to have:

• A quiet and uninterrupted place
• A device that can record and play audio
• A stable internet connection
• About 30 minutes in your hands

Take into account that after starting the test, you will not be able to pause it and if you leave the page, you will have to start it over later.

We’ll make sure your device’s mic and audio are working properly and you are good to go!

💡 Note: If you are having issues with your mic and audio you can check this article for mobile devices and this article for computer browsers. If it’s still not working, you can contact us at support@slangapp.com.
