Re: What goes on the first test?

Well, here raises the question that what sort of test is it? If it is a regular language ability test, then we can do this.

However if this is a standardized language proficiency test, then we need to be careful.

Since I believe in the latter, I propose the following.

The Test has 4 Proficiency Levels.

Level 1: 

• The person knows the basic structure of a lojban utterance.
• Understands what is meant by bridi, selbri, brivla, tanru.
• Is able to make simple tanru.
• Knows the basic pro-sumti: mi, do.
• Knows basic and group articles: lo, loi, le, ei, la.
• Understands the place structure and tagging.
• Understands implicit and explicit {zo'e}.
• Can count up to ten.

Level 2:

• The person understands simple abstractions.
• The person understands SE.
• The person can use COI and UI.
• Understands Scalar Negation.
• Can elide terminators.
• and can use {noi} and {poi}

I still need to come up with Levels 3 and 4, but I am not that proficient to remember the more advanced topics. This is pretty consistent with what wave lessons have.

I think it should be essentially what is covered in lessons 0 through 2 of the Wave Lessons.
