Test Your Vocabulary Level

I have tested my English proficiency with Duolingo Test Center. I also tested my English level with other tests which are “Test Your Word Knowledge”, “Test Your Vocab” and “Vocabulary Ugent” from Ghent University. Duolingo was the hardest one. It asks you different kind of questions such as multiple choice, writing the sentence that you hear and choosing the words that you know. I think this test is the best one that really shows your English level. Because you cannot determine your level based on only one question style. The different feature from others is that other tests were based on only one question style. Actually all four are similar in the basis. They evaluate your vocabulary level with asking whether you know that word or not. Duolingo reflected my actual level of English. The description that gave at the last was the level that I thought. I do not like “Test Your Vocab” because it gives you a lot of words and you choose the ones you know. Maybe you know other words that do not exist on that list. Also the result was not satisfying. In other words, I did not believe my score when I saw. “Test Your Word Knowledge” is more convincing. Because you learn other words inside the description while choosing the correct description of the words. It was a long test any way. Lastly, “Vocabulary Ugent” from Ghent University was really interesting. My score was good. I did not choose any nonword. When I saw result, I was both surprised and sad. The result showed me that I can differentiate word and nonword. But my level was not the one that I expected. Nevertheless, all testes were enjoyable. I did not know these kinds of tests. I am looking forward to being a teacher. I will definitely test my students with those tests.
