Score settings

On the Score settings page, you can control the test taker's experience of the assessment, including the number of attempts, as well as how much of the results to display and in what language. There are currently 9 settings.

Evaluate relevance of answer

⭑ Note: This only applies to open-ended questions.

Select this checkbox if you want Speechace to check the candidate's answer for relevance.

If selected, the relevance evaluation engine checks if the candidate's response is relevant to the question being asked. Irrelevant responses show a score of 0 on the results page.

---

Validate spoken language

Check this box to have Speechace's AI verify that the test-taker's response language matches the expected language of the assessment. If the languages do not match, the test-taker will receive a zero score.

⭑ Note: This applies only to assessments where the expected response language is English, French, or Spanish.

---

Number of allowed attempts

Select how many times you want the test taker to be able to try the test. Unlimited is the recommended setting. Allowing unlimited attempts helps test takers overcome any technical difficulties they may face in taking the test. And contrary to popular belief, multiple attempts and knowing the questions in advance ultimately rarely affect test taker scores.

---

Displaying scores to test taker

Select how much or how little of test results you want to show to the test taker.

For example, you might want to show only the score to the test taker, but not the detailed report. Or you might want them not to know anything about the assessment's results.

Assessment localization

Set the language to display the test results in, as well as the language of the written instructions that appear during the test.

This dropdown is filled out automatically with the same language as you chose for the avatar's speaking parts. However, you can change it to something else if it would serve the test taker to have the instructions and test results be displayed in a language other than the language used by the avatar.

---

Narration

Use this control to tell the avatar to be concise or verbose when speaking.

Verbose mode: slower and more step-by-step instructional, useful for low-level learners.

Concise mode: conversational, faster, smoother, useful for practice tests where time is of the essence.

---

Question Replay

Select how many times the test taker should be allowed to repeat a question.

---

Conclude Assessment

Select how many errors the test taker should be allowed before the test is terminated.

Detailed Report

By default, the detailed report displays Speechace branding, the candidate's name, test attempt date, and a shareable URL that test takers can use to share their report. For white-labeling, organizations can exclude these headers to ensure that test takers see the organization's branding instead of Speechace's.

To remove Speechace’s branding and show only the scores to test takers, adjust the Show report headers and Show shareable URL in header options. The table below explains how these settings affect what is displayed in the report:

Show Report Headers	Show Shareable URL in Header	Display Content
Checked	Checked	Speechace branding, candidate's name, attempt date and shareable URL.
Checked	Unchecked	Speechace branding, candidate's name, attempt date but no shareable URL.
Unchecked	Unchecked (auto)	Only the scores are displayed; no headers or Speechace branding is displayed.
