About the Test
The Test has two sections – Use of English and Listening.
The Use of English section assesses students’ knowledge of grammatical form and vocabulary.
The Listening section assesses students’ general listening ability.
Both sections test how well students understand the meaning of what is being communicated, which is an excellent indicator of general language ability.
The Test is computer adaptive, which means that the test adjusts the difficulty of questions based on the student’s responses. This makes it more motivating and ensures that it gives a more precise measurement than traditional placement tests.
Answers are automatically marked after each task, giving you an instant result once the test is complete.
