setting and helps to confirm you are ready to participate in academic
coursework and campus life.

combine language skills by speaking or writing about material that you
read and listen to, which is the key to academic success. It also helps
institutions select students with the English communication skills
needed to succeed. |

well as integrated tasks in which you need to respond to material
that you have read and listened to.

no longer a Structure section, but grammar is indirectly tested in each
section.
• Note taking is allowed throughout the test.
• The lectures and conversations in the Listening section are longer,
but the language sounds much more like real life. Also, there are new
types of questions that measure understanding of a speaker's
attitude, degree of purpose and certainty.
• The Reading section has new questions that ask test takers to
categorize information and fill in a chart or complete a summary.
• In the Writing section, typing is required. There is an integrated
task in addition to the independent task, and the scoring guides for
rating are different from those used for the current test. |
