SLATE Endorsements

"I have found the Secondary Level Assessment Test of English (SLATE),
developed by Boston Educational Services, to be the best English proficiency
test currently available.  SLATE is user-friendly, highly secure, and
practical, and provides counselors and admissions officers information on
all linguistic skills, including speaking and writing.  This exam maintains
the practical aspects of the existing iTEP exam platform of Boston Ed., yet
utilizes content specific to the secondary school demographic.  During my
more than thirty years of experience working in the secondary school
environment, I have not seen an exam as reliable and appropriate for the
high school-age group as SLATE.  I highly recommend its use as an evaluative
instrument by secondary school personnel."

“I am very pleased to report that I have found a test that provides a reliable and accurate assessment of a student's English proficiency and readiness to follow a full-time American high school curriculum.  The test, SLATE (Secondary Level Assessment Test of English), developed by Boston Educational Services, is far superior to other tests of which I am aware that specifically target middle and high school students.  SLATE can be used for both language class placement and US high school admission.  It is currently being utilized for formal English proficiency certification in a number of countries, most notably China, where proper certification is a key component in preparing children for the future.”
