During your degree, you may take the placement test up to three times.  It is necessary that you wait 10 days between tests.
 

 

We invite you to come to the Language Hub in person (library, 3rd floor) so you can take your exam from Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. It is not necessary to schedule an appointment beforehand. However, if you prefer to take it remotely, kindly see the following webpage, where you can reserve your spot for the English placement test.

 

When you repeat the test, it has a cost of $265.00 pesos.  You can make the payment at: https://pagoexpress.iteso.mx/


Frequently Asked Questions:

Where is the test taken?
Contact us through your ITESO email at hublenguas@iteso.mx for information about the next test date.

What does my placement test result mean?

The placement test result indicates one of the eight English Certificate Program (Programa Certificado del Inglés, PCI) levels in the Language Department at ITESO.  For example, a result of 4 means that you should begin at level 4 in PCI.  A result placing you in level 6 or above means that you are a good candidate to prepare for and take the TOEFL exam.

What can I do if it has been a while since I have taken the test, and in the meantime, I have continued studying English?  Or, what can I do if I have taken the test recently and do not agree with my result?
In the case of not agreeing with your result, you may request to take the test again up to two more times (for a maximum of three tests).  However, there must be a lapse of at least 10 business days (two weeks) between each test.  Any additional test (to the three contemplated here) will only be possible under special circumstances and with prior authorization from the Language Department.  Remember that if you take the placement test again, the result will be reflected in the next school term.  If you are already studying in a level, you may not unenroll from it; the switch will take effect during the following period.

Is there a cost for the placement test?
The first placement test (normally during the admissions process) is free-of-charge.
Each following test has a cost of $265.00, and you can take it up to a maximum of three times.

How long should I wait for my results?
Within the next seven days your exam results will be sent to your institutional mail account.
