HOW DID YOU DO?

Note: So that you can compare your language knowledge across different areas of business English, all Business Spotlight tests have a maximum possible score of 50 points.

Excellent!

Congratulations!

You’ve already persuaded us that you are a person of influence!

Well done!

You can influence most people to see your point of view. But you could benefit from more practice. Focus on the exercises where you had difficulties and adapt the language to your personal circumstances.

18–29

Good

Not bad, but you need to work on your interpersonal skills. Could we persuade you to try the test again? Make a note of any new vocabulary and expressions.

Could do better

Being a persuasive communicator is a practical skill to have, whatever your profession or job. It can be useful in your private life, too. Try the test again next week to see if you can improve your results.
