Versant language tests can be taken anytime and anywhere with the Versant test app. Tests taken on the Versant test app provide the same accurate scores as other delivery methods, with the added benefit of working on smartphones. Tests may be taken online or offline, though offline testing is preferred to prevent any distractions from notifications.

Once the user is back online, responses are automatically uploaded and submitted for scoring. Test scores and statuses are also conveniently available within the app.
