English Test

  • This page includes three (3) placement charts.
    1. Standard English placement scores
    2. Undergraduate English as a Second Language (ESL) placement scores
    3. Graduate English as a Second Language (ESL) placement scores
  • Standard English placement scores articulate to pseudo courses and either the raw score OR the pseudo course may be used for proper course placement.
  • ESL scores do NOT articulate to pseudo courses and the raw placement score alone is used for proper course placement.
  • NOTE: ESL placement tests have several Test Components, but only the Test Component EN310 (ESL Final Placement) is used for placement of students into ESL courses.
