World English Placement Test Instructions.

The World English Placement Test is organized in ascending order of difficulty according to
the content in World English Third Edition. The early questions cover the content of the
World English Intro Student’s Book, and the last set of questions cover content from the
World English Level 3 Student’s book. It is fine, therefore, if a student reaches a certain point
where they feel the test has become too difficult, to let them turn it in before having finished
the remaining questions. Students will be tested on their English grammar, vocabulary,
reading and conversation skills. The placement test package includes an additional and
separate listening test to be used at the instructor’s discretion.

The answer key provided can be suited to determine which level of World English would be
most suitable for a learner. For example, if a learner is able to answer all of the Intro Level
questions correctly, but unable to answer all of the Level 1 questions correctly, Level 1 is
likely to be the most suitable level for that student.

For institutions using a Combo Split version of World English, students answering less than
half of a level’s questions should place in split A, and students answering half or more should
place in split B.
