The English Language Proficiency Test (ELPT) was the name
of a SAT II last administered in January 2005. It was a one-hour
multiple choice test given on English language proficiency by
The College Board. A student whose native language was not
English could have chosen to take this test instead of or in
addition to Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) for
college entrance depending upon requirements of the schools in
which the student was planning to apply. Until 1994, the SAT
II's were known as Achievement Tests. The ELPT assessed both the
understanding of spoken and written standard American English
and the ability to function in a classroom where English is
spoken. The test was intended for students whose best language
was not English; who attend U.S. high schools, or who had
studied in an international school where courses were taught in
English; had completed two to four years of English language
instruction in an English as a Second Language program or in
English enrichment courses; and/or students who spoke a language
other than English at home or work. It was scored on a scale of
901 to 999
Format
The test had 84 multiple-choice questions and was divided into three sections: two listening sections totaling 30 minutes and one 30-minute reading section.
