The placement test in the iStoria app is a specially designed tool to ensure learners begin at the level that best matches their language skills. This targeted test evaluates your English proficiency through questions that cover reading, vocabulary, and grammar. Based on your answers, the app places you in the most suitable level for your abilities.
