English Placement Test

This test has two parts:

  • Part I is a multiple-choice exercise in grammar and structure of varying degree of difficulty.

  • Part II is a writing exercise to evaluate your vocabulary and written expression in English. Since this is the written portion of the test, we recommend that you type out your essay first in a word processing program, such as Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, etc., and once you have completed the test, copy and paste your essay into the text box provided for Part II.
