ESL Placement Test
The ESL placement test is an online English language placement test offered through Versant, which evaluates your English language level. It will test your four language abilities, Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Listening. The test takes approximately 50 minutes to be completed and can be taken from any location, through a computer with a speaker, microphone, and stable internet connection.
After admission you will receive an email in your Bruinmail from ‘ScoreKeeper’ with information on accessing your test. You will have two weeks from receiving that email to complete your test. Once you have started your test you must complete it within 24 hours and in one sitting.
If you did not receive an email or have questions regarding your test, please contact the ESL Department at 801-957-3341. For questions or support in Spanish please call 801-957-3337 or 801-957-3345.
