Interactivity

Versions
Different versions for different aviation roles and test content are specific to the role of the candidate. Versions are numerous, standardised and updated frequently.
Validity
All parts of the test are contextualised and authentic to the role of the candidate. There is an RT dialogue task enabling a deeper assessment of Comprehension skills.
Reliability
The test team all have a Masters in Language Testing: as the test trialling process continues, appropriate measures of research and analysis will be implemented to maximise score reliability.
