The gap every school knows - Passing English is not the same as using it.
A good grade tells you a student passed. It does not tell you they can hold a conversation, follow a lesson in English, or be understood. That difference is what we measure.
Students sit English year after year and earn good marks, yet schools and parents are often left without an honest answer to a simple question: can the child actually use the language? National exams reward what is easiest to test at scale. Speaking and real communication slip through.
The Primary and Secondary English Tests close that gap. They measure all four skills against an international standard, so the result reflects genuine ability rather than memorisation.
Two stages, one pathway
The Primary English Test and the Secondary English Test
Each is built for the age it serves. Together, they track a student's English across their whole time at school.

Secondary students Secondary English Test |
