This test lasts an hour and will be taken on a computer under examination conditions. The questions will be short (multiple-choice, gap filling and so forth). The test does not count in any way towards your end-of-year mark. We use it simply to learn something of your strengths and weaknesses at the beginning of the academic year. Your grammar tutor will receive your results in the first few weeks of term, and these will then be passed on to you.

The test will take place in rooms R041 and R039. These rooms are next to the Library café and are accessed from the outside using a university card.

The test lasts 1h 10min and takes place at the following times:
