What is your level of English?
The Delfin Placement Tests consists of an assesment of your writing and speaking, and a grammar/vocabulary test. You will have taken your grammar/ vocabulary test  before you arrive at the school, and will take your writing and speaking tests on your first day at school. We will use the results from all of these assessments to determine your level of English and to put you into the correct class.
