Childrens fiction eagle reading notes. Level Test Introduction. This is a series of quick tests that will give you a rough idea of your level of English on a scale of 0 to 5. There are five tests altogether at different levels. The five levels are very approximately: You start at the level that you think is correct for you and keep on answering the questions until the test finishes and you are given a level. If you get a high mark on one test you will move on to a higher level test. If you get a low mark on a test you will move on to a test at a lower level. Use the increase font/text size menu item (View Menu in Netscape and Internet Explorer) to change the size of the text if you want.

I found the following story from the ETS "Success Stories" files about the TOEIC® Listening & Reading test particularly interesting for two reasons.

First of all, it describes problems with in-house placement tests similar to those we frequently hear about from our clients. Second, it discusses an advantage that I don't think people always think about in relation to TOEIC tests the speed with which our university and other institutional clients can get information back on the English language skills of their students or employees. The Challenge: Placing incoming students quickly and accurately. The University of Toronto is the largest university in Canada and a leading higher-learning institution. Each eight-week session, with five levels from beginner through advanced. With so many students enrolling in each session, the Intensive English Program found that its in-house, hand-scored placement test was difficult to administer and score in a timely manner.
