HOW DID YOU DO?

Note: In order to be able to compare your language knowledge across different areas of business English, all Business Spotlight tests have a maximum possible score of 50 points.

40–50 Excellent!

Congratulations! You are able to deal well with most tasks that you are likely to encounter in your first week in a new job. Well done!

30–39 Well done!

You are confident in certain business tasks, but have problems with others and and may not be seen as competent as you really are. Try to improve one area a week over the next month.

18–29 Good

A good effort, but with plenty of room for improvement. Look closely at your results to see where your greatest weaknesses are. Do those exercises again where you didn’t score well.

Up to 17 Could do better

You still have quite a way to go to become confident in the basic tasks of working in English and running an office. Try the test again to build your confidence.
