From January 2012, all international and domestic students (with the exception of Graduate Certificate students) will be required to write an English Placement Test on arrival in Centennial college. The purpose of the test is to determine what level of English the student should be placed. This is not an admissions test; it is merely a placement test.
There are four possible levels that a student can score; 099, 131, 161 and 171. These are levels, not scores. Most Post Secondary programs start with level 161 and all Fast-Track’s start with level 171. If a student is placed in a level lower than the starting English course due to their test results, they will be required to take an extra English course along with the corresponding tuition payment. Those that attain the lowest level of 099 will have an option to take a Foundations program. It is not anticipated that students who score 6.0 bands overall will score as low as level 099 but the possibility does exist.
