Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Our test is both for renewal and initial issue of a language rating. The validity date will be counted from the date of assessment.

The assessor will assess your English language skills, not your theoretical knowledge. So, it should not cause any concern. One thing to remember, however, is that the assessor will assess your “comprehension” (one of the holistic descriptors, see above). If your comprehension is showing a lack of skills, it could influence your test.
