Format and scoring

TrackTest English proficiency level exams are provided online and are provided in two formats:

1. Core test (receptive skills- grammar, reading, listening) lasts approximately 45 minutes with immediate results. For a successful pass, it is required to achieve 65 per cent or more correctly answered questions.

2. Complete test (both receptive and productive skills- Core test + Speaking&Writing).

Both tests are provided in two versions based on the delivered level of security:

a) Standard – provided online "as is", without the invigilation or proctored by the organisation administering the assessment.

b) Verified – proctored and verified directly by TrackTest. These tests are taken in a proctored online environment with online invigilation via webcam and with the candidate's identity verified by TrackTest. Certificates are equipped with a photo of the candidate. {{cite web|title=TrackTest certificate|url=https://tracktest.eu/english-certification-online/|accessdate=22 August 2022}}

In 2013, TrackTest introduced TrackTest Score for better progress tracking of users. It is a dynamically calculated numeric score in the range from 0 to 1200 using the algorithm based on all other user results and reflecting the difficulty difference among the levels.{{cite web|title=Introducing TrackTest Score (TTS)|url=http://blog.tracktest.eu/2013/09/introducing-tracktest-score-tts.html|publisher=Brano Pokrivcak|accessdate=12 December 2013}}
