ELS Pre-Arrival Test- USA

About the program

Take the PAT to assess your current level of English.

To help you better plan for your English studies, ELS has created a Pre-Arrival Test (PAT). The PAT is a quick, inexpensive, and easy way to assess your current English proficiency. With that information in hand, you will know how much time you will need to complete a course of study in English. You also will know whether you qualify for advanced level courses offered by ELS, such as our business communications programs.
