Essay The English level assessment test provided by the EFSET website analyzes two competences necessary in learning a second language, these are reading and writing, this is done through a series of written questions and others with audios which can only be repeated 2 times which gives the test quite a lot of difficulty, it consists of 2 tests which the quick that gives 15 minutes to evaluate listening and reading at different times uses the same formula described above. The second test is the most complex and the one that best evaluates these two skills since it provides us with questions with greater difficulty in addition to a more complex structure in them, it consists of a duration of 50 minutes that is divided into two sections of 25 minutes in which reading and writing are evaluated, as I mentioned before, in the reading part, different texts are put, asking 3 to 5 questions about it, in the listening part, there are 3 opportunities to listen to the corresponding audio with each question this makes it difficult but at the same time it gives a good margin to answer the questions. In relation to the score of my previous test that was the one that lasted 15 minutes, I obtained a score which shows that the level of English I had at that time was between B1 and B2, which is an intermediate and understandable level for me, the result was Of 72 in this test, as always, time is a fundamental factor in the conduct of both phases of the test, in the second test, which is the most complete, I obtained a score that, although it is lower in numbering since it is a 61, is in the C1 average which is quite high, in this test of duration

of 50 minutes I was able to evidence first of all a good advance in my reading and listening skills, time is still a fundamental factor in the test, the audios and texts are a lot more complicated since they evaluate these aspects more carefully. virtual learning is the most innovative means of teaching in this century since it allows people with jobs or financial resources to have a more accessible professional education both in time and in economy, in virtual learning of a second language this first is required factor which is time in addition to other important factors such as the motivation to learn, I think that although my progress has not been incredibly great in terms of the score of these two tests I could notice that my understanding has improved a lot in relation to the first test in addition to that I feel more confident when doing the listening test, although one of the problems that I detect is that I do not flow correctly with the language since I do not think in that language but when I first listen translate in my head so that later I can create an appropriate answer, this makes me lose a lot of time when carrying out the tests but I think it is quite common in language learners since you will always think first of the language that is most mastered instead of focusing on the language you are learning.
