The ELS Pre-Arrival Test (PAT) - NEW

To help students plan for study at ELS in the U.S., ELS has created a Pre-Arrival Test of language proficiency (PAT). The PAT is a quick, inexpensive and easy way to determine how long it will take a student to reach his or her goal for learning English. Students can also use the results to see if they are ready for one of the exciting advanced level courses offered by ELS, like the complete, 3-session TOEFL® iBT Preparation course.

The PAT evaluates grammar, listening, speaking and writing abilities in 30 to 50 minutes, on-line. The test taker receives immediate, machine-generated feedback on grammar and listening skills after completing the test. And he or she will get teacher-generated feedback on speaking and writing skills within 72 hours after taking the test, sent to any designated e-mail address.  The PAT is available for only $35 US, payable by credit card.

The PAT is offered by selected ELS agents overseas. You may take it in their offices on internet connected computers. A list of agents and contact information is below. We will expand on this list in the months to come.
