Placement Test can be used as a diagnostic test at the start of the year, reviewing learning from the
previous year and helping to assess students’ ability. If students score about 60%, we suggest they start
with Level 2. If less than 60%, they should start with Level 1, or if that’s not possible, some remedial
work may be required to help them.

and give students meaningful feedback.
