Tasks Appropriate for Each Level

All Versant tests incorporate a “listen-speak” process that requires the student to listen to English words or sentences and to respond in English.  Written instructions are in English or the student's native language (currently available in Spanish, Korean, Chinese and Japanese). 

Versant for English tests contain the following tasks depending on the test level:

Open questions are not automatically scored.
