What the estimate covers

Section-by-section breakdown.

Literacy

Reading and writing ability in English. Includes spelling, word recognition, and sentence-level tasks.

Comprehension

Listening and reading comprehension across varied content types. Speed and accuracy both matter.

Conversation

Spoken and written English in conversation-style prompts. Naturalness and coherence are key.

Production

Active language generation — writing and speaking responses under time constraints. Vocabulary range is a significant factor here.

Your realistic range

Not a best-case prediction. A calibrated estimate based on your actual section inputs and exam timeline.

Your main bottleneck

The one section most holding your overall score back — not just your lowest score. Knowing this changes where to focus.

Your fastest path

The 1–2 sections where focused improvement will move your overall score the most, based on your current profile.
