The Versant score report is composed of an Overall score (a weighted combination of the

subscores) and four diagnostic subscores: Sentence Mastery (i.e., grammar), Vocabulary, Fluency,
and Pronunciation. The Overall score and subscores are reported on a scale from 20 to 80.

Each incoming response is then processed automatically by the speech recognizer that has been
optimized for non-native speech. The words, pauses, syllables and phones are located in the
recorded signal. The content of the response is scored according to the presence or absence of
expected correct words in correct sequences as well as the pace, fluency, and pronunciation of
those words in phrases and sentences. Base measures are then derived from the segments,
syllables and words based on statistical models of native and non-native speakers. [3] Much
documentation has been produced regarding the accuracy of Versant's automated scoring system.
Versant test scores have been aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference
(CEFR). Below are the mappings of Versant scores and other tests' scores to the CEFR.
