Envoy is powered by the latest AI technology and driven by humans to assess true English proficiency skills for real-life situations.
Open-ended questions about topics of general interest in the Speaking and Writing sections prompt authentic responses. Natural Language Processing evaluates the student’s overall communicative ability.
Envoy optimises questions based on how the student responds in real-time. By adapting to their level, it creates a more enjoyable and engaging testing experience.
