Ascentis – A new Gateway beyond TOEFL

Anglia Language Testing Centre (ALTC) has introduced Anglia AcCEPT Proficiency Test in India. This is an alternative English Language Test to test the verbal abilities for students & immigrants. The AcCEPT is explicitly designed for non-native English speakers requiring English for educational purposes.
The score is widely accepted by leading international universities and colleges around the world. AcCEPT proficiency is listed on the UCAS (Universities & Colleges Admissions Service) as a qualification which can be accepted by British universities and colleges to show international student competence in English Language.
The total time for the test is 3 hours and 20 minutes in which AcCEPT measures all four language skills – listening, reading, writing and speaking and the results are reported as three passing grades—distinction, merit and pass, with one failing grade. Speaking section is not mandatory but listening, reading and writing are compulsory sections. When taken, speaking constitutes 20% of the grade while listening skills always contribute to 20% of the total grade.
The certificates are valid indefinitely. However, institutions may wish the candidates to re-take the test if a significant period has lapsed since the last one.
Anglia Examinations, England owned by a non-profit educational establishment, has specialized in ESOL assessments for 15 years. Every year, the organisation examines over 40,000 aspirants from 28 countries across Latin America, Africa, Europe and Asia.
