Help us better understand your assessment needs

In these uncertain times, we know that English language programs across the U.S. are facing ongoing challenges, from shifting policies to evolving student needs. At Kaplan Test of English, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of how institutions like yours currently assess English proficiency for placement and progress, enabling us to support you more effectively.

We’ve put together a short survey to hear directly from EnglishUSA member programs. Your insights will help us identify trends, challenges, and opportunities to serve both students and educators better.

As a thank you, you’ll be entered into a drawing to win a $50 Amazon voucher.



Thank you for taking a few minutes to share your experience.
