Many thanks. My main concern is to decide between a "progressive" test like FIDE, in which you take one test for all levels and your score determines which level you are, similar to TOEFL for English, or something like Telc where you take the exam of a certain level and your score determines the binary outcome of whether you pass that level or not.
I know that to pass Telc, you need to get (only?) 60% of the questions correct. Does this fact make them any easier/more approachable than the progressive tests or they are standardised with respect to this? What is the equivalent of that 60% in Fide then? Is it still more difficult to get 60% in TELC B1 exam than getting a B1 approval from FIDE exam?
