The limitations of existing levels tests inhibit them from meeting their stated purposes (Stoeckel, et al, 2020) as they are based on the word family (McLean, 2018), utilize a meaning-recognition format (McLean et al, 2020), and represent 1,000 words with too few items (Gyllstad et al, 2020). Thus, vocableveltest.org was created. Test administrators are able to base online vocabulary tests on various lists (BNC/COCA, COCA. NGSL. JACET, SUBTLEX, EVKS-J), various word counting units (lemma, flemma, word family), various word band sizes (100, 500, 1000), and various sampling rates (10/1000 to 1000/1000). Students can be provided with feedback on completed items, along with a profile of their lexical knowledge. Test administrators can download automatically marked dichotomous data, actually typed responses, and the time taken to mark each item, for individual or groups of students.
