How the Test Works
Reading and Listening questions are multiple-choice and are scored automatically. The test is computer-adaptive which means it will get easier or harder based on the test taker’s responses.
Writing and Speaking prompts will be made more or less difficult based on how well the test taker does in the Reading and Listening sections. Responses are rated by Avant Certified Raters who use a Scoring Rubric that lists the criteria for meeting Benchmark Levels.

Preparing for the Test
Avant STAMP is a proficiency test of what the test taker can do with the language at this point in time. There are no “right” or “wrong” answers, simply a demonstration of their skills.
To help each test taker prepare, we do have several resources to help:
샘플 테스트
Shows what the test will look like and gives examples of Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced questions and prompts. It does not show the computer-adaptive nature of the test and will not give a score at the end.
비디오 튜토리얼
Helps the test taker understand how to do their best and what to expect during testing.
글쓰기 예시
For many languages, we provide real examples of writing responses for each level. Test takers can compare what they know to understand what type of language is expected at each level.
