It is a flexible test of English language proficiency applied to students when they enter IBU in Skopje. It is quick and easy to administer and it is ideal for placement testing and examination screening. It is designed to help the institution and teachers make decisions about which class to place students in, or whether the student can join the preparatory language program or can directly to be admitted to 1st year program at the university. If students show English language proficiency, scores linked to the ALTE and CEFR levels, B1-B2 (intermediate/upper-intermediate), they are admitted to the University without the need to attend the preparatory language program. But if students show poor knowledge of the language, B1 or below (pre-intermediate and below), they have to attend the preparatory language program.
The English Placement Test is consisted of three parts: (i) grammar, vocabulary and use of English; (ii) reading and writing; (iii) speaking. The task types include: reading tasks, which are multiple choice and include simple texts with graphic report; core competence, which include multiple choice-cloze and discrete multiple-choice questions. The writing part can include writing a letter, a paragraph or even a short essay. The first and the second part are in a form of a written test that lasts about 30-40 minutes, while the speaking part is in a form of an interview conducted live, i.e. 1 to 1 with one teacher and one student, and lasts up to 11 minutes.
Students can show different levels of proficiency in the placement test if entering the Preparatory language program and accordingly they are put in separate groups:
A0 - absolute beginners
A1 - false beginners
A2 - elementary
B1 - pre-intermediate
B1-B2 (intermediate, upper-intermediate) is the level of entrance at the university. It depends on how well the student has mastered the separate language and study skills. If they show the needed proficiency in most of the skills, but lack knowledge in one or two of them, they are submitted to additional language course during the 1st year.
