It will test candidates' competence and performance in the English language through various aspects of language: grammar, translation, comprehension passage, composition writing, etc.

This Course is divided into two parts—part one and part two. Objective questions (multiple-choice items) are asked in part one, and subjective questions are asked in part two. Grammatical competence will be judged by part one test items, whereas communicative competence will be judged by part two test items. Language functions and communicative skills are primarily focused in the latter part. English language fluency will be tested through this test.
