How Our English Placement Test Works

Our English placement test employs a Computer Adaptive Test (CAT). This approach customizes the assessment to your unique proficiency level. The test covers essential aspects including auditory or listening comprehension, written proficiency, and grammar ability, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of your skills.

The CAT dynamically adjusts question complexity based on your responses, ensuring that each question matches your abilities accurately. For those with a strong command of English, the test may extend into more advanced levels, resulting in a detailed assessment. With the CAT, the test duration ranges from a swift 10-minute assessment for beginners to about 1.5 hours for those with extensive expertise.
