DELTA MODULE 1 – ASSESSMENT
EXAM WITH CORRECT ANSWERS 2025
Progress test correct answers A test to find out if the aims of a course/part
of a course have been achieved and the content absorbed.
Proficiency test correct answers A test to discover a learner's general
abilities in skills and systems, not related to a particular course or text or
programme of study
Informal test correct answers The everyday testing we do in class - not
under test conditions, i.e. not timed or graded, etc
Placement test correct answers A test done to place a student in the correct
level/class at the start of a course
Diagnostic test correct answers A test undertaken to test strengths and
weaknesses in skills and systems. Diagnostic tests may be used to find out
how much L2 learners know before beginning a language course to better
provide an efficient and effective course of instruction.
Aptitude test correct answers A test of a student's natural ability to learn a
language (in this case)
Reliability correct answers The consistency of the results gained from the
test
Face validity correct answers If a test looks like it tests what it is
supposed to test (impression)
Content validity correct answers A type of validity that is based on the
extent to which a test adequately and sufficiently measures the particular
skills or behaviour it sets out to measure. For example, a test of
pronunciation skills in a language would have low content validity if it tested
only some of the skills that are required for accurate pronunciation, such as
a test that tested the ability to pronounce isolated sounds, but not stress,
intonation, or the pronunciation of sounds within words.
Test construct correct answers The abilities a test tries to measure.
Example pronunciation or grammar knowledge.
Predictive validity correct answers How much a test accurately predicts how
the student will use the language in real life
Practicality correct answers How easy the exam is to administer and mark
