There are now 10 levels to the Anglia General English tests:
First Step.
Junior.
Primary.
Preliminary.
Elementary.
Pre-intermediate.
Intermediate.
Advanced.
AcCEPT Proficiency.
Masters.
Our tests acknowledge that at the beginning of the language learning process a candidate recognises far more than he/she can actively produce. So, at the first level. First Step, the candidate doesn't have to write any full words at all, but indicates his or her understanding in other ways: matching, colouring, and so on.
After First Step, levels 2 - 8 closely follow a step-by-step incremental syllabus which tests a little more of the building blocks of the language, and asks for a little more active production at each level. By level 9, Proficiency, the format of the test remains familiar but the candidate is not tied to a list of structures, showing he/she has a good enough active vocabulary and grammatical understanding to undertake a course of study in English in Further or Higher Education. At level 10, the candidate shows that he/she has a wide-ranging active knowledge of the language gained, for example by reading, watching TV and talking with other people in English, and can manipulate his/her knowledge with confidence.
Anglia Examinations aim to provide a clear, familiar format for the fair and accurate assessment of the students taking them. They are designed so that both the students and their teachers alike know exactly what is required of them on the day, thereby minimising the anxiety of the test situation.
Our aim at all levels is to give confidence to the students taking our examinations, to reward what they've learnt and to encourage them in their language learning.
