Summer is a great time to recharge—but also to try something new. We're excited to announce the launch of a brand-new way to deliver Tracktest English assessments for test administrators: the Tracktest Desktop Application, now available for both Windows and Mac.
Currently in beta, this new app offers a more controlled and secure testing environment, especially useful for institutions and remote proctoring scenarios. If you’re already using Tracktest, you can try it completely free with a valid license, and we’re here to help you every step of the way during setup and testing.
What is the Tracktest Desktop App?
Instead of running tests in a browser, the new Desktop App allows candidates to take their English assessments in a dedicated, pre-installed application. Once a test is launched, the candidate is redirected from their browser to the secure desktop environment, which prevents interference from other apps or unauthorised activity.
Who Should Use It?
The Tracktest Desktop App is ideal for the test administrators if:
-
Your candidates take tests on organisation-managed computers
-
You need to create a more secure, controlled environment for remote test-takers
-
You’re concerned about browser-based vulnerabilities or potential cheating
Key Benefits
✅ Stronger Security
The app enhances test integrity by detecting and blocking unauthorised software or suspicious behaviour outside of the browser environment.
✅ Supports All Test Formats
Compatible with both standard and verified versions of the Tracktest English assessments.
✅ Free Access
Use the app for free throughout the beta phase - and continue using it after at no additional cost.
Important Notes
⚠️ Desktop Only
The app supports Windows and macOS; mobile and tablet devices are not supported.
⚠️ Installation Required
The application must be installed on each testing device. Make sure your candidates have the necessary permissions to install software.
