PRIMARY ENGLISH TEST

- Designed to help young children perform with confidence and do their best. The Primary English Test, for learners aged 9-12, is reinventing the proficiency testing experience for young learners, motivating students through topics that excite and interest them.
- An AI-powered adaptive test based on CEFR, it provides a positive immersive experience as children have fun while they learn.
- Say goodbye to rigid exam structures requiring a certain score to pass. Its innovative approach means that students do not pass or fail, instead they receive a mark for each of the parts.
- The computer-based test takes 60-75 minutes and consists of dynamic, gamified questions in four parts: Listening, reading, writing and speaking.

SECONDARY ENGLISH TEST

- The flexible, reliable and relatable test that delivers an external measure of progress and ensures parents that their child’s learning is on track throughout this important stage.
- Based on globally-respected Aptis methodology, this Test is designed for regular testing at key points throughout Secondary education.
- It monitors progression toward educational milestones mapped to CEFR and its detailed score reports identify any support needed along the way.
- This computer-based test is designed to engage and motivate, with content reflecting familiar themes in the lives of teenagers.
