Ready to level up?
Whether you're just starting out or it’s been more time since your last Voxy Proficiency Assessment® (VPA®), it’s time to check your progress!
⚠️ Important Note: If you are studying Spanish, French, Italian, or German, your VPA has a unique setup. Please check this article for specific instructions.
To ensure you get the most accurate score and a course personalized just for you, follow these simple tips:
General Success Tips:
Start Early: Take the VPA as soon as you join Voxy. Your initial level and personalized content are based on these results.
One Sitting: Complete the entire test at once. Frequent stops can lead to lower scores.
Find Your Quiet Zone: Pick a silent spot and silence your phone to stay focused.
Tech Check: We recommend using Google Chrome on a computer. If you must use a mobile device, open Chrome and enable "Desktop site" mode, as the test cannot be completed within the mobile app.
Can’t see the "Start" button? Your zoom might be too high. Press Ctrl and - (or Command ⌘ and - on Mac) to zoom out until the button appears.
Can't see the "Next" button during your oral assessment? If you have recorded your first response but the button to advance is not appearing, please follow these technical steps:
Use Google Chrome: We recommend using the latest version of Chrome for the best experience.
If you are using a tablet or mobile device, please switch your browser to "Desktop Site" mode, as the assessment is optimized for computer view.
Section Tips:
Speaking
Grant Access: Ensure your microphone permissions are active. Troubleshoot here if needed. If you are having trouble with your microphone, check out this article.
Stay Present: If you leave after a question starts, you won't be able to hear it again
Listen & Think: You’ll hear each question twice, followed by 15 seconds to prepare. Start speaking only when the microphone icon turns blue.
Grammar & Listening
Be Honest: This is a placement tool, not a final exam. If you aren't sure, select "I don't know." This ensures your lessons won't be too hard or too easy.
Stay Connected: Use a stable internet connection and reliable headphones for the listening portion.
Reading
Strategy: Press "Start" and read the question before the text to understand the context.
Focus: This is the final stretch—stay focused and keep using the "I don't know" option when necessary.
That’s it! You are ready to go. Good luck!
