Good point Liz.
liz askew Jun 16, 2011:
Won't the answer depend on the target country?
marianarauch (X) (asker) Jun 16, 2011:
Claro! es para saber el nivel de inglés de un alumno...

¿? Mariana,... pueden existir media docena de alternativas viables.
¿Podrías contextuar tu solicitud? Recuerda que no somos magos, :)

Level tests

I've taught English for 5 years, in each of the places where I've taught we've called them "level tests" - exams sounds very scary for the potential student!! Also we perform them at the end of courses to see if a student should change group (hopefully move up!).

Placement Exams

Estoy suponiendo que es para ver en que nivel tiene que ser un alumno cuando esté por empezar con las clases. Pegué un link abajo que muestra uno de muchos ejemplos donde usan el término "placement exams."

Placement test

De acuerdo a mi experiencia haciendo clases de idiomas. Pero depende del país. No se si se usa lo mismo en UK o Australia....
