Progress you can point at
Feeling more confident is real, but it is not evidence. Learniv is built so that every claim about your improvement traces back to a specific attempt, marked in a specific way, that you can go and look at.
What we measure
Six commitments that decide how a score on Learniv is produced — and what it is allowed to claim.
A real starting point
Placement combines reading, listening and a scored spoken sample. Starting a learner on the wrong level is the single most common way a course wastes its first month.
Section-level, not one number
A composite score hides the problem. We report reading, writing, listening and speaking separately, because that is the granularity at which you can actually do something about it.
Tested under exam conditions
Mocks run to the real format — section timers, play-once listening audio, answers locked when time expires. A score from an untimed practice set is not a score.
Retention, not exposure
Vocabulary is scored on what you can still recall weeks later, on a spaced schedule built from your own errors — not on how many words the course has shown you.
Marked against published descriptors
Writing and speaking are assessed against the official band descriptors for the exam, with the criterion-level breakdown attached to the attempt.
Every number is auditable
Each figure on your dashboard links back to the attempt that produced it. You can always see the evidence behind a claim about your progress.
Results
Outcomes across completed courses. Figures are recalculated each term from learner attempt data.
Where our numbers are uncertain
Automated marking is good at some things and weak at others. Reading and listening are objectively scored, so those band estimates are reliable. Writing and speaking are marked against the published descriptors but estimated — a human examiner on the day may place you a half band either side.
We show those two as a range rather than a single number, and your tutor's own assessment sits next to the estimate. Where the two disagree, that disagreement is information worth having, not an error to hide.
No practice platform, ours included, can promise a specific exam result. What a platform can honestly offer is an accurate picture of where you currently stand and which section is costing you the most.
What your tutor sees
The same dashboard. Tutors do not get a separate, rosier view of your progress — they see your section scores, your practice history and the questions you got wrong, so lesson time goes to the weak area instead of a general review.
For institutions, the same data rolls up to cohort level: who is behind, on which section, and by how much — without exposing individual attempts to anyone outside the teaching team.
Find out where you actually stand
A placement check takes about fifteen minutes and gives you a section-level starting point rather than a guess.
