  • What is the difference between BESTEP and other tests of English Proficiency in the market?

    ● The BESTEP is designed to meet the needs of college and university students for further education and employment. BESTEP aims to understand the current English proficiency of college students, track their learning, and provide feedback to the teaching of English courses in colleges and universities, driving the cycle of testing, teaching, learning, and employment in a positive direction.

    ● Other English tests in the market are not developed for higher education contexts, and do not correspond with domestic academic English/workplace competencies. The BESTEP is the first of its kind to be developed specifically for domestic higher education and related contexts. It is an English proficiency test for domestic academic programs. The communication skills tested can be linked to the needs of further education and workplace (please refer to the following questions for details).

    ● We emphasize the concept of "learning-oriented assessment". For example, in an attempt to help enhance students' motivation to plan their own learning, the test taker’s score report provides not only the overall score of the test but also the achievement rate of each component and the descriptors of the competency, which is rare for large standardized tests.
