Surely the more questions you answer in a placement test, the more points you get and the higher your score? If you can’t finish, you can’t do yourself justice. And that must invalidate the result.

This is a common objection to the Dynamic Placement Test, and in this short video I explain the structure of the test, the reason for the overall time limit, and why it is not necessary to attempt every possible question to be graded accurately.
