Official ACTFL Writing Proficiency Test (WPT)

Written language proficiency can be demonstrated through the Writing Proficiency Test. This is a proctored, standardized test for global assessment of functional writing ability, measuring how well a person writes in a language. Candidate's writing samples are double rated and an official ACTFL WPT Certificate, stating the candidate's proficiency level, is issued.

The Advanced Level Check is a valid and reliable testing method that measures whether a candidate meets the requirements of an Advanced - Low level of writing proficiency. The AL Check assesses language proficiency in terms of the candidate's ability to use the language effectively in real-life situations, using both formal and informal business writing tasks. The candidate's sample is measured holistically by determining patterns of strength and weaknesses within the "Advanced" range of proficiency. A rating of Qualified (Q) or Not Qualified (NQ) is given.
