On the listening test, the speakers use standard American English at a normal rate of delivery. The grammar items on the test focus on control of forms and structures of English which people might use when talking with each other. The vocabulary words tested are those frequently encountered in written sources. The reading comprehension passages, on a variety of subjects, are taken from books and magazines. The test consists of three required parts: Composition, Listening, Grammar/Cloze/Vocabulary/Reading; and one optional Speaking test. The entire test takes from 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 hours, including check-in procedures. Please click on the items below to read more detailed descriptions of each part of the test.
