What is the Young Learners Placement Test?
Cambridge English Young Learners Placement Test is a placement test created by Cambridge Language Assessment that verifies a child's level of English effectively and precisely in about 30 minutes, and that can be taken online in a practical setting.
This test will place the candidate in one of three Cambridge English Young Learners levels (Pre-A1 Starters, A1 Movers or A2 Flyers), identifying the best place for his or her English-speaking journey to start.
Conceived for children between 6 and 12 years old, the test can be used to:
- Assess the child's level of English with extreme precision and external validation;
- Help schools put English students on the correct level, by determining their capabilities, the right course for their present knowledge and the Cambridge English exam they should apply to;
- Enter language courses and schools, by removing doubts about admission tests and assessing if students are able to start or require support courses
