| A1 | A2 | B1- | B2- | C1 | C2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A1+ | A2+ | B1 | B2 | ||
| B1+ | B2+ |
Fast testing and immediate results: more efficiency
Ev@lang is adaptive: the algorithm analyses in real-time the response pattern of the first set of questions to select the most suitable second set of questions and so on. Thus, the test becomes progressively easier or more difficult by adapting to each different user’s profile.
