Re-introduction: Improved Version of Active Listening Tests I-IV

Hi everyone,

As you all know, the Quality Team is working hard to make key changes to improve grading, processing time, etc. (Click here for the details)

I am excited to share with you that all the major changes are complete! The minor changes are still in progress, but we invite you to check out the restructured tests and share your input.

Before you start taking them, however, please note:

• If you already completed the AL Tests, you may not need to retake them. But if you didn’t complete any, please do take them and share your experiences with us. Here are all the Active Listening Tests Forms for easy access!
  • Active Listening: The Basics
  • Active Listening: Questions
  • Active Listening: In-Depth
  • Active Listening: Refresh & Self-Care
    
• Please know that ALs are an opportunity to learn and test your own knowledge and understanding of active listening skills. They are the stepping stones to high-level listening. (We also recommend taking them in the sequence in which they’re presented as AL 1,2,3 and finally 4.
• If you didn’t clear the quiz on the first attempt, do not worry. Our Feedback Team will reach out to you and share feedback and resources that you may utilize. When you feel more equipped, we encourage you to retake the quiz.
• If you feel unsure and like you could use some more resources to prepare before attempting a quiz, please either contact any mentor from this page, request a Listener Coach, or reach out to Listener Support Room. We are here to help you out and make sure you succeed.
• All the tests will be graded and processed within 3-5 business days. If in case you need to follow up on the outcome of the test or you didn’t hear back within the 3-5 business days period, please reach out to either Jenna, Mel, or EvelyneRose (Quality Admin)

A few helpful tips to ace the quiz!

1. Please read the questions & description of each question carefully before answering. It will help you frame your responses better. Be aware that some questions have parts (A) and (B). Be careful to notice when it says "MEMBER" and when it says "LISTENER". Ensure you frame your responses accordingly. Answers that only respond to half of the question will get half a point.

2. Please use your own words to write out each reply. Spelling and grammar will be secondary as we understand English is a secondary language for many of us. Responses will be monitored for content. Be aware that some questions need responses within 3-5 sentences.

3. Please review and confirm your responses before submission. It will ensure that you covered everything. You can save your answers in a word document so that if you need to make changes and try again you will have your previous answers to reflect on and make changes to.

We look forward to hearing from you. We will use your feedback to continue to iterate on this process. Thank you for your dedication to listening!
