2. After grading is complete: Notification of the test result.
3. In case of a test retake (for instance, if the grading couldn't be completed due to audio issues etc.).

*Please note :
Additionally, a registration confirmation email is sent to email addresses uploaded in the test taker list.

Is there any material to review the test format in advance?

Sample questions are available here ▶ https://progos.ai/en/sample.html

The PROGOS test is designed to measure levels from beginner to advanced, with questions and audio all in English. If you are a beginner, reviewing the sample questions beforehand will help ensure a smoother test experience.
Since the test cannot be graded if no speech is made, please try to speak as actively as possible. You can rely on the words you hear to answer the questions or use the context of the questions to guide your responses.

When can I check my results after completing the test?

You can check your results as soon as a few minutes after completing the test.

Are there any additional notes regarding grading?

Grading may not be accurate in the following cases:

• Silent responses
• Responses in languages other than English
• Responses irrelevant to the question
• Any response not aligned with the context of the test

What should I do if I need to retake the test due to a malfunction?

If the test is interrupted, return to your My Page, click the "Start Test" button for the relevant test, and you can resume from the first question of the interrupted section.

Can I retake the test if I couldn’t complete it due to issues or malfunctions?

In principle, retakes are not allowed. However, if the malfunction is recognized as being on the provider’s side, a retake will be arranged, and the testing period may be extended in this case.

Can my testing period be extended if there was an issue?

Testing periods cannot be extended. Please ensure you resolve any errors during the designated testing period and aim to take the test as early as possible within the available period.
