The English Comprehension and Communication test evaluates a candidate’s verbal ability with the English language as well as competency in communicating ideas, meanings, and information through both spoken and written methods.
It’s an ideal test for pre-employment screening of candidates applying for a variety of roles. A good candidate for any job that requires a good ability to communicate in English will be able to display competency with understanding and selecting the correct words for a given context, avoiding and resolving miscommunication with clear and concise messages, and be able to use their language skills to actively listen to others as well as present their ideas persuasively.
This test requires candidates to answer multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions to demonstrate their business-level English communication skills in real-world scenarios.
Sample public questions
"Today the CEO announced that the company will ______ into Europe next year."
Which words best complete the blank in the sentence above?
Your team doesn’t have anyone skilled in data analytics, so your boss asks you to do your best to analyze visitor behavior on the company’s website. A week later, you ask a colleague on a different team for feedback on your work so that you can improve it before presenting to your boss.
After reviewing your analysis, he says, “This makes no sense. Have you ever worked with data before?”
How do you reply?
Your assistant attended several meetings on your behalf while you were out on sick leave. You need to include a summary of each meeting in your next team newsletter. For each meeting below, choose the clearest and most concise way to restate the key points your assistant compiled.

What others say
Simple, straight-forward technical testing
TestDome is simple, provides a reasonable (though not extensive) battery of tests to choose from, and doesn't take the candidate an inordinate amount of time. It also simulates working pressure with the time limits.
