The content of the test is aimed toward the level of English a student might encounter in an American university setting. On the listening test, the speakers use standard American English at a normal rate of delivery. The grammar items on the test focus on control of forms and structures of English which people might use when talking with each other. The vocabulary words tested are those frequently encountered in written sources. The reading comprehension passages, on a variety of subjects, are taken from books and magazines.
The test consists of 3 required parts (composition, listening, grammar/cloze/vocabulary/reading) and one optional part (speaking test). The entire test takes from 2½ to 3½ hours, including check-in procedures. Detailed descriptions can be found below.
