You final test will be a multiple choice type quiz. You will have to answer 50 questions. Your score has to be at least 60%, which means that you have to give correct answers to at least 30 questions.

Every student can and should write the test, students who were not able to participate in the online lessons on skype are also welcome.

You will have plenty of time to complete the task: I will give you 60 minutes (from start to finish).

You have 3 options:

1: You can use an online platform, www.quiz-maker.com

If you choose this option, your quiz will be corrected automatically and after question number 50 it will give you the result.Please take a photo of the result that you saw on your screen and send it to me on messenger. You can send it to me individually if you do not want to share your score with the group.

You can take the quiz ONLY ONCE. You do not need to write the answers down, the quiz-maker will correct your work and give you the SCORE in this format: 40/49  (for some reason they do not accept the last, 50th question, maybe there is a limit so everybody will get that extra point)

If you want to start the quiz but run into difficulties (they ask you to subscribe or want payment for the quiz, please abandon the quiz and switch to option number 2 immediately)

I WILL SUPPLY THE LINK WHEN WE START THE TEST!!!!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. You can see the quiz on our blog (englishexam.blog.hu). It's the same quiz, but the format is NOT INTERACTIVE. YOU WILL NEED A PAPER AND PEN TO WRITE DOWN THE ANSWERS. PLEASE SEND THE ANSWERS TO ME WHEN YOU ARE READY!!! - you can use messenger or send an email.

You can either take a sharp photo of the page you wrote your answers on or type the answers in messenger in this format:

1 A, 2 A, 3 A, 4 A, 5 A .....

I WILL SUPPLY THE LINK WHEN WE START THE TEST!!!!!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. I can send you the quiz in an email.

Please send me an email with the answers within 60 minutes.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I did not want to overcomplicate the test but I had to come up with 3 options because I wanted to make sure that everybody can complete the test in one of these formats. I think the easiest way is maybe option 2.

The most interesting option is the first one. But it is the most technologically challenging.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please note that this is the first time I have prepared an online final test so I am  testing these options and myself, too. Problems may arise, please be patient and DO NOT PANIC. :)
