Reading, Contextualized Grammar, Writing, & Speaking
Student success begins with accurate course placement. The Avant PLACE language test will quickly, easily, and accurately place your students into appropriate courses. Avant PLACE goes beyond other language placement tests by measuring reading comprehension and contextualized grammar as well as writing and speaking.
Teachers have access to student speaking and writing responses. A dashboard displays demographic data, individual section scores, and a recommended placement level.
Avant will work with an institution to fine-tune reporting to fit its placement levels. We also offer an individual payment option for students to pay for the test online. Avant PLACE is used by many leading colleges and universities that seek a robust and turnkey placement solution.
