VIDEO
The article below is also available as a video on YouTube. It also includes (not present in the article) images from the tests showing what to click and where – which is especially helpful for people with weak English. We recommend that everyone watches this video. The video can be watched at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpQo1WqtzNs
INITIAL ASSESSMENT Tests
In England, we have 5 levels of English proficiency: Entry 1, Entry 2, Entry 3, Level 1, and Level 2. To assess your level, every course participant (including those who have done other courses at college before) must take the INITIAL ASSESSMENT test. This is a short test that checks all levels – from people who do not speak English to those who want to go to university.
Very important rules:
- Do not use dictionaries or help from others.
- Do not go over the 20-minute time limit.
- Do not guess the answers.
- If you do not understand a question – leave it blank and click "next."
At the end of the test, the system will assign you the right level. If you do not answer any questions (because you do not understand), you will be placed in the ENTRY 1 group for beginners.
Form for the College (Long Form)
In this form, you will choose your preferred days and times for classes and provide full information needed to start the course. Based on the information in the form, the college will check:
- If you are eligible for a free course in England (called a Prior Attainment Check).
- What qualifications you have recorded in the British system (e.g., from previous courses – Previous Qualifications Check).
If you do not know what to enter in a specific field, just type 0000.
Settled Status / Share Code
When filling in the form (Long Form), there will be a question about confirming Settled Status – this is especially important for people from the European Union. You will need to generate a Share Code. A complete step-by-step guide (with pictures) is available at this link: https://maclav.co.uk/index.php/courses/609-confirmation-of-settled-status-for-college-abc-step-by-step.html
