Are you enrolled on a Functional Skills English course with Think Online Training?
If you are, please discuss booking your Functional Skills English exams with your English tutor.
If not, please read about our pre-assessment process before purchasing our Functional Skills English exam package.
Why is the pre-assessment necessary and what does it involve?
1. It ensures you are ready for your final exams and will help you avoid paying for resits.
2. You’ll complete a short test that will assess your skill level in each English topic that will be on the final exams. Your scores will help us find out if you’re ready for your final exams.
If you’re ready for your final exams, you’ll complete the steps below. If you’re not ready for your final tests, one of our English tutors will recommend a personal learning program. We’ll help you get you ready for the final exams as quickly possible.
3. Your tutor will contact you to discuss the speaking and listening exam. Your tutor will advise you on how to prepare for the exam and give you any support and guidance you need. You’ll need access to a computer with a camera and microphone to complete the speaking and listening exam online.
4. You’ll be provided with 4 mock tests: 2 Reading and 2 Writing. You will be required to sit these under exam conditions at home. Please don’t cheat! The mock tests will help you become more familiar with the exam style and format and ensure you’re able to complete within the allocated time.
Remember: by cheating, you are only cheating yourself; resits are NOT free!
Your tutor will aim to mark your mock tests and return them with feedback within 2 weeks.
5. If you’re successful with your mock tests, we will register you for the final tests. It’s possible to complete the Reading and Writing exams on the same day but you can book them on separate days if you’d prefer to.
6. It may take up to 6 weeks to get your results. We’ll send your E-Certificates by email and post your paper certificates.
7. Remember: should you need to resit any of your exams, you will need to pay the exam fees again! These pre-assessments will help give you the best possible chance at passing the exams first time and save you time and money in the long run.
