Capitalisation as per acronym and Russian wiki page[edit]

The "Capitalisation as per acronym and Russian wiki page" was done merely to show how the acronym was made. It is not the way the name is really capitalized. In Russian it looks ridiculous, and every Russian who sees the "Capitalisation as per acronym and Russian wiki page" knows that it does not represent the true capitalization. It is capitalized the way I put it, Тест по русскому языку как иностранному...not only in any normal Russian text, but in the St. Petersburg University’s test site itself. —Stephen (talk) 17:34, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm perfectly aware that the capitalisation is not standard (thank you). I felt it was more helpful to put it as I did to make the acronym clear. However, I've had a look at other pages dealing with acronyms, and what I've done was clearly not standard. So I now agree with your edit (if not your tone).VsevolodKrolikov (talk) 02:17, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

too bad[edit]

1) no links to Russian websites for the program to see sample tests or training material. 2) Russian Language Proficiency Test (ТПРЯ) this link leads to a page that is not about Russian at all.

would you fix these things? 108.18.136.147 (talk) 22:27, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

cefr[edit]

the text says torfl is linked to cefr, but torfl is heavily grammar-testing, unlike english ielts, where a moderate score can be gotten by someone with 'bad' grammar (e.g., he do, i now go) but effective communication. on torfl, a very low score is given if the grammar is wrong even if the passages are understood. 95.82.69.187 (talk) 07:27, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

the spanish test, which is integral to cefr, is also heavily grammar-testing. on the spanish test, it is not possible to get above a low score if there are mistakes in grammar (e.g., usted estas or lack of/misuse of the subjunctive) even if the passages are easily understood.37.99.32.189 (talk) 01:08, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

correlation table[edit]

The table correlating various test levels has no source given. It is not consistent with the ielts's home-page on ielts-cefr level relationships. https://www.ielts.org/ielts-for-organisations/common-european-framework . Also, ielts band 1 is definitely below A1, as can be ascertained by looking at the Band 1 descriptor in the ielts rubric. Kdammers (talk) 09:29, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
