The LOEP (Levels of English Proficiency) test is designed
to measure English skills for students whose first language is NOT
English. Students are encouraged to take the LOEP test if English
is their second language and if they are not fluent in English.
If your background in English is similar to one or more of the following
descriptions, you should take the LOEP test and not the ACCUPLACER
English test.
- You took ESL classes in your senior year of high school.
- You have difficulty communicating in English and/or completing
forms in English.
- You wish to enroll in ESL courses at PCC.
The LOEP/ESL test is computerized. There is no time limit for the test. Typically, students are able to complete the test in one hour. It consists of adaptive multiple-choice questions. Questions are chosen for you on the basis of your answers to previous questions. Since this is an adaptive test, you cannot skip questions in the exam or go back to previous responses. You must answer every question. If you do not know the answer to a question, try to eliminate one or more of the choices, then pick one of the remaining choices.
