Where do I start? This page is a good place as hopefully you will find some useful English-exam-tips!
British or American ESL-Placement-tests?Your first natural choice will depend on the kind of English you have already started to learn. Depending on which part of the world you live in you will either be focusing on British or American English (at least in terms of ESL-Placement-tests).There are lots of countries where English is widely spoken by native English speakers that do not fall into either category of British or American as they are usually interpreted, Australia and South Africa, New Zealand and India are just a few examples of countries that spring to mind where English is spoken on a native level and very widespread, yet it is not exactly identical to the English that students will be exposed to in ESL Placement tests and certificate examinations. Even English spoken in Ireland, known as Hiberno English differs in many ways. General or Business English?When you have a clear idea of the differences between British English and American English and you have made your choice based on your particular requirements you can now decide whether to start preparing for general English or Business English ESL Placement tests.This page is under development, very soon it will be possible to download information pdfs for all of the exams currently available to students of English as a foreign language.
