This test will tell us what
your level of English is. Spend 20 minutes on the
Grammar and Vocabulary Test and 15 minutes on the
Writing. Press the finished button at the bottom of the test to send us your
answers. We will check them and e-mail you your results.
Please note that all students must take a different confirmation test when they enrol
at the school. If the results of the 2 tests are different, we will use the
results of the enrolment test to decide which class you will start in.
