The test is designed to help English-as-a-Second/Foreign-Language (ESL/EFL) learners diagnose of their weaknesses and identify areas of future learning. The test is particularly suitable for those who have completed or nearly completed their secondary education and aim to pursue university programmes delivered in English. The question items are mapped to Level C1 and C2 in the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), where C2 is required in demanding academic and professional settings, and obtaining a pass at this level is the proof that a candidate has the linguistic competence to comprehend English for university study. Students should seek further tuition to consolidate their English foundation before pursuing any university course taught in English.
