During a full Versant English Proficiency test session, how does the test delivery system work?

Which of the following best describes the scoring scale used for the full Versant English Proficiency Test?
Answer: A numeric scale from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating greater proficiency
Versant reports scores on a 20–80 scale. The scale is anchored so that lower scores reflect limited proficiency and higher scores reflect near-native or advanced proficiency.

One of Versant's key advantages is speed. The full test typically takes about 15 minutes, making it practical for large-scale screening compared to longer proficiency assessments.
Which of the following statements about Versant score reliability is most accurate?
Answer: Versant scores have high test-retest reliability because they are generated by a consistent automated scoring engine
