How do I pass the DLPT?
The DLPT requires a lot of vocab “bottom up” to pass the lower levels; but for the higher levels, it requires “top down” recognition of contexts and “patterns of speech”. Students and linguists who have to translate every word do not do as well on the test as those who understand contextually.
Is the DLPT multiple choice?
In the “big” languages (for example, Russian, Chinese and Arabic) the test format will be multiple-choice. The test taker will read or listen to foreign language passages, read questions in English, and provide short answers in English.

Should dlpts be calibrated?
So when calibrating a language test, the question is always whether the error should be in the direction of being generous or strict. Older DLPTs were calibrated so that the error would be in the direction of being generous. With DLPT5, the post-9/11 emphasis on readiness resulted in a desire to have any error be in the direction of being strict.
Why can’t I know the content of the DLPT?
The reason for this is that the DLPTs are designed to test general proficiency, not specific learning. If examinees were allowed to know the content of the test, they would study for that specific content, and the test would no longer assess general proficiency. Q. Can I go back and change answers? Can I review answers at the end of the test?
How does The DLIFLC test work?
Using Item Response Theory (a statistical method typically used for high-stakes, large-scale tests), the DLIFLC psychometrician goes level by level for all acceptable questions in the validation pool and, for each level, calculates an ability indicator corresponding to the ability to answer 70% of the questions at that level.
