How are the results reported?
The Computer Test
The BULATS Computer Test produces a report with the candidate's overall score (on a scale of 0 - 100) and level (on the A.L.T.E. level system of 0 - 5), and their score on each section of the test. The Test Report Form can be printed from the administrator's Supervisor program. Reports can be printed onto specially prepared BULATS report paper in any of the four test languages.
The Standard Test
The exact format of your test result is decided by the organisation delivering the test. Normally candidates receive a Test Report, which includes their overall score and level and their score on each section.
The Speaking Test
Candidates receive a Test Report, which gives an assessment of their overall ability (on the ALTE level system of 0 - 5) with finer distinctions of +, - and =. A description of what the candidate is likely to be able to do in the language in the workplace (e.g. 'can deal with clients by responding to simple questions') can be printed on the reverse of the Test Report.
The Writing Test
Candidates receive a Test Report similar to the one for the Speaking Test.
