Placement Test
Understand your French proficiency assessment and how placement test results guide your learning path.
Placement Test Results
The Placement Test is your initial French proficiency assessment that determines your starting level and personalizes your learning experience with the platform. This test aligns with Quebec French standards and workplace requirements.
Understanding Your Results
Your placement test results show your current French level on both the Quebec francisation scale (1-12) and the international CEFR scale (A1-C2). The results break down your performance in key areas like listening comprehension, vocabulary, and workplace communication.
Results also indicate your strengths and areas for improvement, helping focus your learning efforts. The assessment considers Quebec-specific French usage, which is essential for workplace compliance with Law 96.
How Results Shape Your Learning
Your placement test score determines the initial difficulty level for Madame AI conversations and suggests appropriate interactive activities. The system uses these results to recommend vocabulary sets and conversation topics that match your proficiency level.
As you progress, the platform adjusts content difficulty based on your ongoing performance, but the placement test provides the crucial baseline for your personalized learning path.
Viewing Your Detailed Results
Access your detailed placement test results from your personal dashboard. The results page shows your score breakdown, level recommendations, and suggested learning priorities based on your performance.
You can review specific questions you answered incorrectly to understand areas needing attention. The system provides explanations and resources for improvement in weak areas identified by the test.
Retaking the Placement Test
You can retake the placement test after significant practice to update your proficiency level. This is particularly useful after completing several weeks of consistent practice with Madame AI and interactive activities.
A higher placement test score unlocks more advanced content and adjusts AI conversation complexity to match your improved skills.
Tips for Accurate Assessment
Take the placement test in a quiet environment when you can focus completely. Answer honestly rather than guessing, as accurate results ensure appropriate content difficulty for effective learning.
Don't study specifically for the placement test - it's designed to assess your current abilities, not test preparation skills. The more accurately it reflects your true level, the better your personalized learning experience will be.
