The

Challenges Placement Tests are designed to

help the teacher to place students at the right
level of the

Challenges series. Each test contains

100 Multiple Choice questions and is designed
to last for 45 minutes. If students get less than
60% of the answers right, they should use the
level indicated in the title, eg. for the

Challenges

1 Placement Test they should use

Challenges 1.

If they get more than 70% of the answers right,
they should use the higher level. 60-70% of right
answers puts students in the middle of the two
levels and your decision as to where to place
these students should depend on the level of
the rest of the class.
