App Store Description

Easy-to-use and also known as the “International Phonetic Alphabet Test app” or the "IPA Test app". It is the simple way to learn and be tested on the International Phonetic Alphabet symbols (IPA symbols). What will be your IPA Test Grade (A, B, C, D, E, F or G) and IPA Test Star Rating (7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 star)?

The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is a very useful pronunciation system for students, teachers and speech therapists (including those working in deaf education) and linguists. It uses a symbol for each of the 44 sounds (phonemes) of English. This ‘just IPA’ app uses 120 keywords (each with a memorable picture) to introduce, revise and TEST the user on the IPA symbols for the 24 English consonants and the 20 English vowels (seven short monophthongs, five long monophthongs and eight diphthongs).

This ‘just IPA’ app uses the same layout as the English Phonics Test app. However, in the Control Panel, the interactive Picturechart, structured teaching Levels 1-4 and the interactive Word Bank have been disabled so that only LEVEL 5 IPA (PHONEME-BOXES) is active. In Level 5, the phoneme numbers (1 to 44), usually displayed on the phoneme-boxes (sound-boxes), have been replaced with the IPA symbols. The DEMO and PLAY functions can be selected, for any of the eight rows, two sections or the whole chart, prior to using the TIME function. Users touch the consonant IPA symbols to reveal blue spelling choices and touch the vowel IPA symbols to reveal red spelling choices in the workspace.

If the ‘Whole Chart’ option (“The IPA Test”) is completed in under 59 mins 59 secs (59.59), the table below is revealed to show the IPA Grade (A, B, C, D, E, F, or G) and IPA Star Rating (7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 star performance). For example, if you complete the test in under 30 minutes, this is a Grade A (7 Star) performance.

IPA TEST GRADE AND IPA STAR RATING
Grade A (7 Star): 00.00-29.59 (under 3.45 a row).
Grade B (6 Star): 30.00-34.59 (under 4.22 a row).
Grade C (5 Star): 35.00-39.59 (under 5.00 a row).
Grade D (4 Star): 40.00-44.59 (under 5.37 a row).
Grade E (3 Star): 45.00-49.59 (under 6.15 a row).
Grade F (2 Star): 50.00-54.59 (under 6.52 a row).
Grade G (1 Star): 55.00-59.59 (under 7.30 a row).
Grade H: Test not completed or Out of Time.
