The university will organize them to take a placement test. The school of foreign studies will provide a test for them. This paper is concerned with a test set by teachers for the freshmen. The aim is to provide guidelines for setting a kind of test which will be practical and give helpful information to both teachers and students about the usual test. It is assumed that the teacher’s aim is to equip his students with a general knowledge of grammar and vocabulary and in the long run with the skills that they will need when they graduate and work in an actual situation. So, based on our background, needs analysis, reference and interview, it is decided that our test will be an integrated-skills one of both proficiency and placement test types which consists of listening, reading, and writing.  \nKeywords: integrated, placement, proficiency, freshmen  \nBackground  \nCentral University of Finance and Economics (CUFE) in Beijing, China is the most important university within the Ministries of Education and Finance. The university trains the students majored in accounting, trade, finance, investment, etc. It has a staff of well-committed teachers of English, Russian, French and Japanese. It has 20 schools or departments including the school of foreign language studies which is supposed to teach English to students from all schools within the university.  \nIn recent years, China has seen an explosion in the demand for English, especially in some foreign units and enterprises. Many university students have high motivation to learn English. A good level of proficiency in English will help them considerably: to graduate from a university, to obtain better jobs, especially those in computers or joint ventures which have international connections; to read technical materials; and to study abroad. They see English as a useful world language and study it out of personal interest.  \nBut English is a foreign language in the context of China. Students study English as a formal subject in school but have no immediate need for it outside of the classroom. They receive input in class. Our English language classrooms continue to be dominated by a blend of the Audio-Visual Method with most listening and a  \n􀀍 Source: Wang, S. R.

It is generally believed that the students who have fairly good performance in listening will probably be competent in speaking.  \nIn our national curriculum, the first-year non-English major university students learn English as a compulsory subject and have to pass a 4-band proficiency level of national English exam. They pass it in the first or second year although they don’t have any English classes in the second year and they will take the main courses in finance and economics in the third year which means they will not spend a lot oftime on the national English exam. If they fail to pass it, they cannot get a bachelor degree in this university.
