Practice / Sample SPEAK Test

Speak Tests are administered for entering students during the week preceding the beginning of Winter, Spring, and Summer Quarters. SPEAK testing for the Autumn Quarter takes place two weeks before the quarter begins. Although efforts are made to accommodate all students who test by the Friday before classes begin, we cannot guarantee space in Spoken English classes during Autumn Quarter for those who test late. SPEAK tests are also administered by appointment from week 2 through week 8 during each quarter.

In order to make an appointment to take the SPEAK test, call 292-5005 or stop by the Spoken English Program office at 75 Arps Hall.
