Notes for teachers
Use this test as a placement or end-of-level check: a score of 32/40 or more suggests the learner is secure at A1, while 24-31 points to gaps worth revisiting. It targets typical beginner errors such as gender and number agreement, ser/estar/tener confusion, stem-changing verbs (quieres, podemos, duermen) and the pronoun with gustar. Review mistakes by section, then follow up with short speaking tasks that use the same structures, such as describing your home or neighbourhood.
