Teste Diagnóstico • Placement Test

Notice:
• This placement test was made for young students, aimed at children aged 8-10.

• The test contains 40 items.
• The students should choose the correct word for each of the pictures.
• They should write the number of their answer in the box nearest the picture.
• You will need to print the placement test in colour as it is not possible in some cases
to choose the correct answers without seeing the pictures in colour.

How to interpret the results?

1. You can either give the test to the students at the beginning of the school year and
then compare the results with the same test at the end of the year and see the
progress made.
2. You can interpret the results following these criterias:
40-35 – Very good – The student knows the core vocabulary for this level and
only needs to practice the four skills (listening, reading, speaking and writing)
34-20 – Good – The student knows most of the core vocabulary. Besides practising
the vocabulary, the student needs to practice the four skills (listening, reading,
speaking and writing)
19-10 – Average – The student only knows some of the core vocabulary. Not
only does the student need to practise the vocabulary further, but also the four
skills (listening, reading, speaking and writing)
9-0 – Beginner – The student has a very limited knowledge of vocabulary
and language functions structures. The student needs to approach learning
the language as a beginner.
