I think listening test gives always the same score:elementary high. Can you check it please? And something else: Could you have also writing tests or comrehension tests?

I also just scored elementary high, after getting 7 of 8 correct. My previous 3 tests were at intermediate.

Also, I got the same sentence twice.

Something's not right.

I got Upper Intermediate (Low) - which exactly matches my self assesment - particularly the low part;). So it did a good job of judging me.

hehe baba,

I told you it wasnt broken :-)

hehe,you may be right,but I still got some satisfaction out of one phrase I do know which I kept retorting with...你脑子坏了。That seemed to change my result..started coming out with shenjingbing and flashing a big warning sign..whatever that means.Bizarre.

sounds like its been replaced by the Kobayashi Maru or maybe the myers briggs test.

I just did the test and progressed from Upper Intermediate (Low) to Upper Intermediate (High)- My listening comprehension level is about right BUT:

1. One question was repeated

2. Three questions didn't play audio (I still clicked 'Yes')

3. I got everything right. SO I should have scored advanced (for testing purposes).

I'll look into this further. Stay tuned for updates.
