- The test says it measures a ten-word gap, not English ability overall; optional demographic answers feed anonymous public statistics.
Field notes
The first pass asks users to produce a word from its meaning; the second tests recognition with four choices, using the same ten meanings in a different order. The site explains that optional answers can contribute to public statistics and lists the recorded response details, while saying typed answers are discarded after marking. Its result page frames the measurement as a word-recall gap rather than a grade or a measure of overall English.
