SLATE Levels

The seven primary proficiency levels identified by the test may be expressed briefly as follows:

A.    Level 0:  Beginning

B.    Level 1:  Elementary

C.    Level 2:  Low Intermediate

D.    Level 3:  Intermediate

E.    Level 4:  High Intermediate

In addition to the seven primary levels, an examinee’s Overall Level score will be expressed in half-levels (2.5, 3.5, etc) if the Overall score falls between two primary levels.

The Ability Guide-SLATE describes how well an individual can use English to communicate in the classroom and the "real world" at each of SLATE's seven levels.
