PLACEMENT TEST

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE A COURSE — KNOW YOUR STARTING POINT.

The placement test helps when your starting point is unclear, then turns the result into a recommendation for the pathway or course closest to your current ability.

WHY PLACEMENT

BECAUSE THE WRONG STARTING POINT WASTES TIME.

The goal is not simply to label you A2 or B1, but to avoid placing you in a course that is too easy or too difficult and connect you to a more appropriate pathway.
