Aptis ESOL Advanced  \ntests English language ability from B1 to C2 on the CEFR and is for higher level test-takers.  \n3. Aptis ESOL for Teachers  \ntests from A1 to C on the CEFR and is designed for teachers.  \nAptis ESOL tests are taken on a computer.  \nAccommodations can be made for special educational needs. Information is provided in the ‘Aptis ESOL for all’ section at the end of this guide.  \nThe purpose of this guide is to help you prepare your students for the Aptis ESOL General tests.
