It gets harder or easier
Reading and listening move you to a lower or upper stage. That is the 2026 pattern, not a gimmick.
Two score languages
You leave with a 0–120 comparable total and 1–6 bands. Use whichever your school talks about.
Campus-shaped tasks
Housing emails, lab talk, a classmate who will not drop the group chat. The 2026 test lives here.
Mic check before you speak
We do not start the clock on a dead headset. You hear yourself first.
Scores after the section
Writing feedback when writing is done. Speaking after speaking. Not a week later.
Days end. Access ends.
Unused tests do not roll over. That sounds strict. It is also how you stop collecting mocks you never sit.
