Vericant developed a language proficiency assessment that is based on the conversation in the interview called the Spoken English Evaluation (SEE). Alongside the video application service, the SEE uses a score which determines the applicants true communication skills.<ref>{{cite news|last=Gupta|first=Priyanka|date=1 Apr 2016|title=How Vericant Is Defining The Future Of International Admissions?|publisher=Ed Tech Review|url=https://www.edtechreview.in/news/vericant-international-admissions/|url-status=live|access-date=30 Jul 2023|archive-date=30 Jul 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230730230842/https://www.edtechreview.in/news/vericant-international-admissions/}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Vericant Integration|url=https://knowledge.technolutions.com/hc/en-us/articles/360033319331-Vericant-Integration|publisher=Slate|date=12 Oct 2021|url-status=live|access-date=30 Jul 2023|archive-date=11 Apr 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230411202006/https://knowledge.technolutions.com/hc/en-us/articles/360033319331-Vericant-Integration}}</ref> |

=== Background === |

|url=https://www.edsurge.com/news/2014-09-08-vericant-raises-series-a-to-streamline-foreign-student-applications |
|||
During his time as an educational consultant in China, Chris Bohener realized that students expected him to write their teacher recommendation letters and personal statements, a responsibility that puzzled him as it fell outside the scope of a consultant's role. Further investigation revealed that this problem was widespread, resulting in US schools admitting underqualified Chinese students who often struggled academically. |

With the goal of creating a more transparent and fair application process, Boehner launched Vericant in early 2010 alongside Guy Sivan, Nicki Fung and Kelly Yang. Born out of the compound of the words "verify" and "applicant," Vericant aims to assist schools in verifying the abilities of Chinese students during the application process by conducting face-to-face interviews and written tests. |
