How does the audit look like on Focus platform?

Adding access to the test and sending invitation

Log in to the client panel and add access to tests – you can easily generate the link with access by yourself. If you want to add multiple access to tests at once, you will need to complete a special worksheet and send it to your coordinator from Skrivanek.

Access to the tests can be sent to the audited people in two ways: by sending invitation from the system in form of an email (right after adding access or at any other time you want) or by providing the link to the audited person yourself.

While adding the access you can also decide if you want results to be send from the platform directly to audited person or not.

Completing the audit

In case of sending invitation from the platform, audited person receives a welcome e-mail with basic information about the test. More detailed instructions are displayed on a test page. All that must be done to access the test is to click on the link – there is no need to log in to the platform.
The questions in each section are displayed rotatable as well as based on the level of the auditee, and each question has a time limit for entering answers. This minimizes the risk of using additional help during the test.

After completing the test, auditee receives confirmation via e-mail that the test has been completed – in case of audits, where conversation with auditor is scheduled, audited person will also receive confirmation of date and time when speaking part will take place (according to the preferences specified when taking the test).

Getting the results

Result from grammar, vocabulary and reading are ready immediately after the test. Results for writing and speaking are ready within 24 hrs (without listing the mistakes) or in max. 48 hrs (with listing the mistakes and extended auditor’s comments).
When report is prepared, you will receive the notification from the platform – this eliminates the need to manually check whether the assessment is ready and downloadable. If you have chosen to send the audit results to the audited person then the report will also be sent automatically at this moment.

If you want to compare many results at the same time, all you have to do is to generate a summary report in the client panel. The report will contain all the key data from the report for the time period you selected.

To arrange language training based on the results obtained, contact the coordinator or Skrivanek language school.
