Cambridge English Placement Test

What is the Cambridge English Placement Test?

The Cambridge English Placement Test (CEPT) is an online adaptive test

of general English used for candidate placement purposes. The test was
developed by Cambridge English Language Assessment, which has a long
history of language assessment and close links to the development of the
CEFR.

What skills does it test?

The test covers Reading, Use of English and Listening. A report of the
results is provided from CEFR Level Pre-A1C2.

What is an adaptive test?

As the candidate progresses through the test, each item is chosen on the
basis of the candidate's response to the previous item. As a result, the test
becomes progressively easier or more difficult until a consistent level of
ability is achieved and the candidate's level of English can be identified.

How long does it take?

The test takes approximately 30 minutes. The test will not end abruptly but
will allow the candidate to complete the task they are answering. The test
ends when the candidate clicks on the arrow to go to the next task.
How is the CPT scored? How are the scores
interpreted?
The CBPT is automatically scored. The examinee knows the score directly
after finishing the exam. The score is recorded and automatically
documented by the computer system and the administrators of the exam.

When and where can I register?

Registration for the exam starts in April and ends in September. Students
should contact the students admission and registration in order to pay the
required booking fees and schedule a timing.
