9rom the e:ample above, this learner has a good no!ledge of English at ;tarter and Elementary levels, and a reasonable no!ledge at <re-intermediate level. The learners cut-off point is clearly at intermediate level, so this learner !ould be placed in the class studying Cutting Edge Intermediate. =n any test based on multiple choice items, learners !ill have a statistical chance of guessing the correct response. =n order to reduce this influence !e should ignore any correct responses in tests above the cut-off point #so in the e:ample above, the 85%& on Test E !ould be ignored$. 9or the same reason, !e do not T>TA) the scores from the tests. The total score !ould have little meaning. Administration 9or purposes of logistics, the <lacement Test begins !ith the listening sections of each test. After the listening has been completed students !ould need -3 minutes for the remaining sections of the tests.
