I had joined Sutherland recently. They put me in the DELL Process. We were given a 15 Day Comm Training, after which, we were to be shortlisted based on our performance in Two Tests.
1.A Mock Call (conducted like a one on one interview)
2.Versant Test
For the uninitiated, Versant is an automated test of spoken English. It evaluates the ability to understand, be understood and general English language proficiency.
This Monday i gave my Versant Test. I had been to Tirupati the previous day. I had very little sleep coz we had returned only by midnight. I woke up late and started to get ready in a hurry, when I got a call frm Sakthivel, my frnd in Sutherland who came with me in the same cab. He told me that my name was not in the list that day and that the cab driver refused to come to my place. So perfect in cancelling the cab(coz our 15 days of training was over), did they show this sincerity while providing us cab for the first time!~! Anyways, i had more time now. I can relax and eat properly.
I then took my Bike and went on to pick up ma frnd Sripadharajan. We reached the Perungudi Office on time. We were asked to wait in the Conference room. Then, the H(aitch)R Sangeetha came and we practised the pronounciation with her.
The first one to give the Versant Test was Krithika (She’s the one who’s very much into this Accent and Pronounciation thing, in my class. In Velammal language, Topppperrrrr! 😀 ) She cleared the Test with 64points.
Actually we were told that we had to be loud and clear so that the machine can understand us properly. Since girls usually have a low pitched voice, they were asked to be a bit louder than normal. So, Swapna, the next girl who went in, started screaming! She got too much excited and worried about the whole thing, which made her shout! Poor Girl! She got only 42 and failed in the Test. 60 out of 80, was what one had to get to clear Versant.
It was almost 1pm and so we were asked to have our lunch. I too was getting excited and wanted to get done with it. Ah, How I hate Exams! So, myself and Pawan went in as soon as we finished our lunch.
I went into the Versant Test Room… There was a Telephone and a Headphone. The Lady in-charge dialled the ordinate system and put me on line.
Voice over the Phone(VoP): Thank you for calling the Ordinate testing system.
Me: {My Pleasure!!!} :(( (Ma heart started beating faster! I dont know why, whenever i go for an Interview or an Exam it happens like that)
VoP: Please enter your Test Identification Number on the telephone keypad.
Me: Dialled my Versant TIN(Test Identifaication Number) – 12345678
VoP: Now, please say your name.
Me: {Ah, My Name! Now wat was that!} Shanmugam
VoP: Now, please follow the instructions for Parts A through E.
Me: {Ok Ok! I’ll Try to!}
And then, I gave the Test! Part A was Reading. Part B – Repeat. Part C – One Word Answers. Part D – Sentence Builds. Part E – Open Questions.
I actually didnt listen to the voice properly. {I was thinking how loud i was? After giving a wrong answer for a question, i would remember its correct answer after sometime! And when i am thinking abt the correct answer, i would miss the next question! And like this my concentration was not at all on the voice most of the time! I had done better than this in all my practise files!}
And i finished the Test. Pawan also came out at the same time. We waited for the Results.
The other guys who were waiting for their turn asked me what were the Questions. I didnt remember any questions! Only one Question that i remembered was this one in Part C! VoP: To chill it, what do you add to water? Me: Sugar. (But, said that with perfect accent and pronounciation! lolz!) Its always like that… As soon as i come out of the Exam Hall, i would forget everything! Absolutely Everything!
And soon the Lady in-charge saw ma results in the ordinate website and told me that i had scored 71!
71! :O That was a Surprise! 😀
But whatever, i dont care. We guys have finished engineering, without even once worrying about the percentage et al, ithenna jujuppi matter!!! The Only thing that Matters is whether you are IN or OUT!
And thankfully, am IN! 🙂 One Month Salary vaangama poratha illa! 😀
I’m at home since then… Havent got my Tech Training scheduled yet!
nice one da…keep it going…let posts flow…!!!!

Jack Rodriguez
i’ll be taking my versant english test later , hope that i’ll pass , i badly needs to pass it or i’ll lose my job , do you think i only need to enunciate the words? i cant compose my thoughts when i’m tensed, whew!
I would really appreciate if someone gave me advice on how to prepare people to pass the Versant English test. Are their any courses or teaching materials on that?
I need to prepare Support engineers to pass the test. Surprisingly, I noticed that people with reasonable English with experience of speaking to native speakers get still get results lower that 60. Is it possible that there might be reasons other than pronunciation or fluency, for example low voice or bad connection?…
guys i need help, can anyone give me advice on how to pass the versant exam and how was it like, is it tough?
Your versant experience makes me more confident about my versant test. My Versant test is on Wednesday. Thank u for posting ur experience .

Hey… Shanmugam! what a detailed explanation on Versant test, it was very clear and make my life easy for the test. Good!
Hi.. my name’s not Bill Gates.. but I’ve given Versant three times till date.. and scored 80 in all of them. I just gave one last week, the TIN is 96708018.
hi i had this test firsttime in my life,yaa heart beats fast when we enter the room.i failed in this test i got 55%.
i dont know the pass %.thnz for the dear link for my preparation .
Harry as far as i know the passing grade for versant is 68, and 80 is considered as perfect.. anyway, my first score is 63, then when my trainor ask me to re-take it, i got 59! My Gad! hehehe.. That experienced was EPIC FAIL! 😡
somebody know some web site for free download versant full test??
if anybody know any resources for versant test samples , i would appreciate let me know. thanks a lot.
God knows what this Versant is guys, Today first time in my life I took this test and it was crazy. I wish and pray my results should be like “Shanmugam”. Lol, It was literally crazy to take that test. Half the time I could not understand that machine language. It was not clear at all (May be line problem). More over I have been taking calls since many years n God knows why it was so tough.
That machine was talking something and I was talking something else. It was not a good experience. I hated that machine accent.
After all I dont care. Like I said I want to get into a company which do not put me through this shit. When all my customer can understand me why should I care making a machine understand.
When it asked me to speak for 40 seconds even I started talking like that machine. I am sure this will spoil our communication and intonation.
im so nervous!i will take the versant test on friday..
i did take my versant shit…i got only 43….sad!
hey zisa, did you take up the test again?

Hi, will you please share the sample Versant tests
I took this test and got 68
Took the test three times with deloitte.
At first chance score was one less than passing score.Given second chance,did my best better than first ,was confident about it, scored less.
Given third chance after complete guidance, this time it was the best . Now it seemed that performance was bad in first chance as compared to the other two. Still did not clear.
Never knew the reason of failing and criteria for assessment.
😦
Have you got the offer??
Hi,i had given interview in Deloitte and technical and senior manager round was very good. But i had not clear versant test. They gave me three chance but with little margin, i was not able to clear. HR told me that she will discuss with other people and let me know on Monday. I just wanted to know that versant test is required to pass for getting offer or there is some chance on the basis of technical and managerial interview.Thanks.
Hi Pooja,
My name is Mathan, even i attended Deloitte on 11/7/15 and cleared all technical rounds but failed in Versant round. Today i called HR and asked him one more versant chance. will they be able to give after these 3 days?
Thanks in advance.
Pooja did they give you third chance? I failed test 2 times..I asked if they can give one more chance..
hi ,
I have given my Versant test on 21st Oct 2015 in Deloitte. but till now, i did not get any mail or call regarding the result of this test. but at the end of test it showed that i have got 6 out 10 or some 478 out of 720.
so i failed or passed that test ?
Hi All, I have given versant test in Amazon, but i had not able to clear the test..;( now i have versant test again with Deloitte on 21st Nov , Can anyone help me some tips to crack this versant test please
Hi, the same is happening with me as well. First time i gave both Versant and Belit test. Deloitte has sent me the mail stating that i have cleared the interview process but now they are saying that i dint clear Versant test alone, tellin me to take the test once again, as i scored quite near to the pass mark. But even, they are not scheduling the test again. I dont know whether i will pass the test. Becoz, im so worried and nervous to take it.
did u get ur offer letter?
same happened with me as well with deloitte, cleared all round sans the versant test, so a question to the guys who faced similar situation, did deloitte give you another chance?
Hi Deepak Padhya,
Can you please tell me how was the versant test in Deloitte, am so worried to take it
Ramya : The test was ok, but thing is, sometimes the voice is not clear and you can not hear the full sentence clearly and hence when the machine asked you to repeat the sentence, you can not. So that depends fully on the connectivity. Good luck !!
Deepak Padhya: Ohh!! my god.. I really want to get IN to deloitte. hmmm thank you!
Hooray! Scored 69!!
Thanks for all the help.
Parvinder Nogi : how do you know your score ?
Hi Deepak, Check this website https://www.versanttest.com/support.jsp. provide your TID no.
I scored 67 for deloitte; is it pass or fail?
Hi Dilip, I also scored 67 for deloitte. Could you please confirm if you passed Deloitte versant round?
i scored 60 Could anyone confirm if I passed Deloitte versant round?
can anyone tell why the score is not displayed after giving versant test??i gave it tow times but score is not showing everytime..
[…] Acc to me, Tony was quite friendly and spoke well… And after clearing this we took the Versant test. You can read abt it in my blog “The Versant Experience” […]
