1. What is the difference between the NUEPT and the Placement Test?
They are not separate examinations. The first section of the NUEPT also serves as a placement test and assesses Listening, Vocabulary, Grammar, and Reading. The score obtained in this section determines the starting level of students who will continue in the English Preparatory Program. Students who achieve the passing score in the first section become eligible to take the second section of the NUEPT, which assesses Writing and Speaking.
2. What conditions must I meet to take the Proficiency Test (NUEPT)?
All students in the English Preparatory Program may take the first NUEPT at the beginning of the academic year without conditions. During the semester, eligibility is limited to: Students who successfully complete the B2 level at the end of Module 2 or 4, students who previously completed B2 but failed NUEPT (must complete NUEPT Prep Class module before retaking), students who successfully complete B1 or B1 Plus and achieve a general year average of 70 or above at the end of Module 4.

No. NUEPT is only held on the official dates in the academic calendar. Students must take it in the semester they are eligible. There are no make-up exams. Exceptions may be made for transfer students or international students.
5. What happens if I fail the Proficiency Test (NUEPT)?
