Detail TAEPTM

TEST FORMAT

TAEPTM comprises three sections (listening, grammar, and reading) which take total of 110 minutes to complete. Originally, TAEPTM is paper-based and used to assess and to evaluate English proficiency of non-native speakers of English for academic, business, or other personal purposes. All questions are multiple choices, and test takers are supposed to answer questions by filling in a computerized-scoring answer sheet.

Along with the latest developments in the world of English language testing, TAEPTM has been successfully developed 2 (two) test formats, namely offline and online test formats. Thus, test users can easily choose the format that best suits their needs to portray their English skills. In terms of test contents and coverages, there are no significant difference between those two test formats. Both formats have three sections, namely Listening, Grammar, and Reading sections. By taking into account the practicality of administering the test, the three samples of linguistic aspects are considered sufficient to provide an accurate and reliable description of the test takers' English skills.

All item items in TAEPTM are not the result of a compilation of questions from various sources, but all items for TAEPTM questions are formulated by a competent team of experts based on certain linguistic aspects.

Details regarding the contents of TAEPTM are described in the tables below.
