How can I self-assess my English knowledge level? |

For a 15 lei fee, you can take the Quick Placement Test (QPT). It is a multiple choice test of 60 questions. Your score is given by the total number of right answers. The score serves only as a guide as this test only assesses your grammar and vocabulary. We advise you to supplement your self-assessment by doing a test from one of the practice tests sets available in our library or on the Internet. |
