sigesige00 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) I'm not good at English tests, particularly listening. The University at which I'm considering of studying requires: *IELTS 6.5 (with a minimum of 6.0 in the written element) *TOEFL 92 (at least 23 in the written element) *Pearson Test of English (academic) A score 68 overall (with at least 59 in the reading, speaking and listening element, and at least 68 in the written element) *IGCSE English as a Second Language Grade C *Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency of English (Grade C) *Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English (Grade The easiest for me is IELTS. However, I have another idea. Recently I passed the Grade 1 of STEP Eiken, the most popular English test in Japan. Grade 1 is equivalent to 6.5-7.0 in IELTS. A small number of universities in Britain recognise this test. Therefore I'll negotiate with the University to which I am applying about recognising STEP Eiken.

Blackpool Jags Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 You might also consider negotiating with your prospective uni a module on forum posting, arguing that the level of nuance contained within an advanced message board such as this one lends itself to a higher level objective method of assessment.

The Terminator Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 IELTS is also available in a wide range of sizes and can be shipped to Japan for no extra charge. Just so you don't have to take the effort of asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
