English Placement Test (EPT)

This test is taken by all students for whom English is a second or foreign language. The English Placement Test (EPT, published by University of Michigan) is designed to determine the level of English proficiency of each student. The EPT (which assesses listening, grammar, vocabulary and reading skills), a writing sample, and an interview are used for placement purposes at the International Language Institute. Students who wish to enroll in an ESL course must first take the English Placement Test. Additionally, students who would like to verify their English level may also take the test.

To take the English Placement Test, students must call the ILI office at 956-326-2136 to schedule their exam. Cost of the exam is $35 and can be paid with a credit card through our Marketplace store here or at the following link: https://secure.touchnet.com/C20208_ustores/web/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCTID=1337.

Students that prefer to pay with cash must come by our office at Lamar Bruni Vergara Science Center 201 to pick up a test payment form. With this form, students can pay at the Bursar's Office.
