Introduction
The test contains:
• 50 multiple choice questions which assess students’
knowledge of key grammar and vocabulary from elementary
to intermediate levels.
• A reading text with 10 graded comprehension questions.
• An optional writing task that assesses students’ ability to
produce the language.
This placement test is intended to help teachers decide which
level of
Solutions
, Elementary, Pre-Intermediate or
Intermediate, is the most suitable for their students. It should
be given at the beginning of the school year.
Solutions
placement test has been developed after consultation
with teachers and is designed to assess students’ knowledge of
the key language as well as their receptive and productive skills.
This will enable teachers to have a greater understanding of
what level their students are at.
The 50 multiple choice questions and the reading task are
designed to be done together in a 45-minute lesson. The
writing task can be done in the following lesson and should
take approximately 20 minutes.

This table acts as a guideline for teachers when choosing which level of
Solutions
is suitable for their students.
Reading and writing scores are included separately so that teachers who choose not to include these tasks in the
placement test can still make an accurate assessment of their students’ abilities.
Where there is a discrepancy in the level attained in the different parts of the test, a student’s score for grammar and
vocabulary should take precedence. Alternatively, a teacher may wish to conduct an additional oral interview to
confirm the result.
Students whose scores fall on the borderlines should be placed according to the level of the rest of the class and
monitored closely at the start of the course.

Saucy dragons
Levi Roots, a reggae singer from Jamaica, has a
big smile on his face these days. In case you
missed it, Levi recently appeared on the famous
reality show for people with business ideas,
Dragon’s Den. The participants have to persuade
the team of business experts that their ideas are
excellent and hope that two or more of the team
will decide to invest money in their business
idea.
Levi did just that!
The singer, who has been a successful music
artist for several years, also sells something he
calls ‘Reggae, reggae sauce’. It is made using
special secret ingredients from his grandmother
and is a hot Jamaican sauce that is eaten with
meat. Until now it has only been possible to buy
the sauce from Levi’s website or once a year at
the famous Notting Hill carnival. But now,
thanks to the TV programme, that is all going to
change!
Levi presented his business idea to the team and
started with a catchy reggae song about the sauce
to make them sit up and listen. He certainly got
their attention! He then described his plans for
the sauce. This part of his presentation didn’t go
so well. He made mistakes with his figures,
saying that he already had an order for the sauce
of 2 and a half million when in fact he meant 2
and a half thousand! But, the team were still
interested and amazingly, two of the team offered
to give £50,000 to the plan in exchange for 40%
of the company. Mr Roots was ecstatic!
Levi is even happier today. It seems that two of
the biggest supermarket chains in the UK are
interested in having the sauce on their shelves. In
addition to this, Levi is recording the ‘Reggae,
reggae sauce’ song and we will soon be able to
buy or download this. ‘It’s all about putting
music into food,’ says Levi with a big, big smile
on his face! And music and food will probably
make him a very rich man indeed!
