As Primary education comes to an end, students have reached a key milestone in their learning journeys. It’s the ideal moment to assess their level of English and inform future learning goals when moving into secondary education. Students do better when they're interested and motivated, which is why we designed our tests with that in mind. Our Primary English Test uses story-based animation to engage students so that they can do their best.
Our test is designed to track progress as students move through secondary school. At the same time, we know how important it is to help students feel confident and supported. Our Secondary English Test draws from activities and scenarios that teenagers encounter every day. This lets students aged 13 to 16 feel confident, showcase their language skills and reach their full potential.
Our tests are delivered on-demand, at a time, location and frequency of your choice. They can be fully outsourced to British Council experts, freeing up your time and ensuring high security standards. Optimising your time and resources required for English language testing has never been easier.
We support test takers and help them access life-changing opportunities, wherever they are on their learning journey.
