Almost every learner who sits an ALFI placement assessment asks the same question afterwards: did I pass?
There is nothing to pass
A placement assessment finds the level where you will be stretched but not stranded. Put someone a level too high and they stop speaking. A level too low and they stop coming.
What it looks at
- What you can already do unprompted, not what you can recite
- How you recover when you do not know a word
- Whether you can follow speech at natural speed
None of that is a judgement about ability. It is a starting position.
