Database module

“”Business Writing” main heading is not showing. Also, some of the topics in “Business English
Advice” are mixed up with the Business Writing topics. Can you check this?

Business English Level Test

http://www.workplace-english-training.com/emagazine/en/resources/business-english-level-
test.html
After completing the business English level test on our site, users should be forwarded to a new
page where they see:
a. their level (they can see this at the moment)
b. their test report (they can see this at the moment)
c. Link to ‘Create My Learning Path” (NEW)
d. Link to ‘Recommended Business English Course’ (NEW – takes that user directly to the
business English course which matches their level)
NONE OF THIS DONE YET
NOTE: I’ve just taken the test very quickly to see if the above has been done. I scored 8/50 in
the “Reading and Language” section and was given a benchmark score of 5 (the highest
score). Can you check the scoring system as I should have got a benchmark level 1 (the
lowest score)?
