Compatible with all versions of Windows from Windows 95 through Windows 7.Based upon these results, users may choose to change the usage order of their system's own resolvers, or, if alternative public nameservers offer superior performance or features compared with the nameservers currently being used, to switch to one or more alternative nameservers.ĭNS Benchmark Feature List: The Executable Environment: Once the benchmark finishes, the results are heuristically and statistically analyzed to present a comprehensive yet simplified and understandable English-language summary of all important findings and conclusions. These values are determined by carefully querying each nameserver for the IP addresses of the top 50 most popular domain names on the Internet and also by querying for nonexistent domains. Results are continuously displayed and updated while the benchmark is underway, with a dynamically sorted and scaled bar chart, and a tabular chart display showing the cached, uncached and “dotcom” DNS lookup performance of each nameserver.

When the benchmark is run, the performance and apparent reliability of the DNS nameservers the system is currently using, plus all of the working nameservers on the Benchmark's built-in list of alternative nameservers are compared with each other. ONLY by benchmarking DNS resolvers from your own location, as this DNS Benchmark does, can you compare nameserver performance where it matters. You might see someone talking about how fast some specific DNS nameservers are for them, but unless you share their location there's absolutely no guarantee that the same nameservers would perform as well for you. The point made above about the suitability - to you - of candidate nameservers is a crucial one, since everything is about where you are located relative to the nameservers being tested. This DNS Benchmark will give you visibility into what's going on with your system's currently assigned DNS servers by automatically comparing their performance with many well known publicly available alternatives.

But they might be in the wrong order (the second one being faster than the first one, and that matters) or, who knows? Many people have discovered that their own ISP's DNS servers are slower than other publicly available alternatives on the Internet, which are faster and/or more reliable. Since they are likely located close to you on the Internet (since they are provided by your own ISP) they may already be the fastest DNS servers available to you.

Unless you have taken over manual control of the DNS servers your system is using (which, as you'll see, is not difficult to do), your system will be using the DNS servers that were automatically assigned by your Internet connection provider (your ISP). The Tests offer students and schools the opportunity to participate in a standardized Arabic Assessment which would provide comprehensive diagnostic feedback and benchmark performance against other schools in the region.Since nothing can happen until IP addresses are known, the use of slow, overloaded or unreliable DNS servers will get in the way, noticeably slowing down virtually all of your use of the Internet. The above guidelines are only a recommendation however the final decision always rests with the Teacher to determine which Level would suit the students’ needs best. Make inferences about information stated in a narrative text. Answer comprehension questions about short, simple descriptive texts and fables. They can identify correct grammar, match sentences to pictures, identify appropriate responses in a range of simple, personal conversational exchanges. Students have more than 6 years of Arabic. Answer comprehension questions about short, simple descriptive texts, locate information in simple texts etc.


They can identify the appropriate responses and questions in a range of simple, personal conversational exchanges. Students have only up to 6 years of Arabic. Students have limited proficiency and can join letters and make simple sentences, identify basic grammar, identify simple objects and understand actions by matching texts to pictures etc. Students have only up to 4 years of Arabic. Students have only up to 2 years of Arabic - they are beginning Arabic and have very limited exposure and can identify most letters, some simple objects and actions
