<p>The difficulty level of any exam is subjective. The test is based on an adaptive algorithm that determines a candidate's level of English proficiency, hence the better your English is, the more difficult the exam becomes. Since it&rsquo;s a standardized test, it falls under the same category as other popular English proficiency exams such as IELTS and TOEFL. Eventually, it all depends on your preparation, as well as your comfort with English. As various aspects of the English language are measured in the test, those who have studied enough and have a strong hold over the language won&rsquo;t have an issue scoring well on the test. Your proficiency will be tested in domains such as reading, writing, listening, and speaking through a set of tasks. Those whose hold on the English language is not decent should practice well before the test and sharpen their English vocabulary, grammar and other related skills in order to score well in the exam.</p>
