Admission Procedure
RBS English Language Center considers placing students at the right level to be critical for their success in studies. In order to apply for any of the courses offered by RBS English Language Center, you will have to test your English language proficiency, which includes a test and an interview.
The two tests used for placement have been developed by the Univeristy of Michigan (USA) and are recognized internationally.
| Beginner - Intermediate: | If you consider your English language skills to be below average, we offer you English Placement Test (EPT). Time: 65 minutes |
| The EPT is a 100 item multiple-choice test. It contains problems testing listening comprehension of short utterances (sentences read from the tape recorder), grammar in conversational contexts, selection of high frequency vocabulary to fit the context of single sentences, and reading comprehension of sentences. | |
| Intermediate - Advanced: | If you consider your English language skills to be above average, we offer you Michigan Test of English Language Proficiency (MTELP). Time: 75 minutes |
|
The MTELP is a 100 item multiple-choice test containing grammar items in a conversational format, vocabulary items requiring selection of a synonym or completion of a sentence, and reading passages followed by comprehension questions. |
|
Tests are held at Riga Business school, Riga, 11 Skolas Str.
Registration for the interview is right after the test. Interviews are usually organized on the next working day after the test. During the interview a member of the English Language Center faculty will further assess your language skills, comment on your test result and offer you a course that suits your level of English and interests.
