Test for young learners is an optional free feature available to all school administrators in their interface.
The TrackTest English proficiency test in its standard configuration assesses the English proficiency in both professional and personal life. Therefore English tests, in the upper B and C levels particularly, use also some questions related to the general business English knowledge.
This area is an essential for adult learners but could be a disadvantage for young learners who, despite being adequately English proficient, do not get involved with such vocabulary and topics and hence could score the worse results.
In order to prevent this discrimination, we have introduced the filter for young English learners. When selected by the school admin, the system selects from the questions databank only the questions suitable for young learners.

Five years ago Jim Collins asked the question,"Can a good company become a great company, and if so, how?" Collins and his team of researchers investigated 1,435 companies, looking for those that made substantial improvements in their performance over time. They discovered common traits that challenged many of the conventional notions of corporate success. Making the transition from good to great doesn't require a high-profile CEO, the latest technology, or innovative change management. At the heart of those rare and truly great companies was a corporate culture that found and promoted disciplined people to think and act in a disciplined manner. Peppered with dozens of stories, Collins lays a well-reasoned roadmap to excellence that any organisation would do well to consider.
