Every instance of the test comes with a different set of questions, so each candidate gets completely different questions. Behind the scene, GELT ® is fed by a question bank of 1000+ questions created by English language experts and mapped on items to be measured in accordance with measurement and validation principles.


GELT ® is designed to measure English proficiency in the four basic language skill areas: grammar, vocabulary, reading, listening.
