Things to improve

We also carefully read all your suggestions about the things we could improve. We addressed some of them during the year 2017. Other improvements are scheduled for this year.

Some of you would like to see the correct answers when you complete the test. Unfortunately, we cannot show them as it would have an impact on the reliability of the assessment. However, we have improved feedback we provide after each English test
You also want us to increase the recognition of our English certificate. In the next few months, we will announce the new features and partnerships to further enforce this message.  

 Thank you all for being with us in 2017!
