Each passage is followed by questions that are multiple-choice or that require a short answer. In the first part of the Listening section, you will hear the short dialogues only once. For this section, the questions are recorded and are not printed in the test booklet; you will only see the answer choices. In the second part of the Listening test, you will hear each of the three passages twice. Section time: 50 minutes  \nWhat Topics Appear in the English Proficiency Assessment?  \nAll reading and listening materials are taken from real documents such as newspapers, magazines, textbooks, and radio broadcasts. Topic areas include agriculture, medicine, engineering, history, and education. All texts are intended for the general reader/listener. You do not have to be a specialist in any of these fields to answer the questions.  \nWhat do the English Proficiency Assessment Scores Look Like?  \nThe Reading and Listening scores, called Bands, tell you about your level from 1 to 5.  \nWhat scores do I need to pass?  \n• For entrance to a 2-3 Year Diploma Program and/or to a 1 Year Certificate Program , the minimum language requirement is a score of Band 4.0 in the Listening and Reading sections.  \n• For entrance to a Graduate Certificate Program and/or Bachelor’s Degree , the minimum language requirement is a score of Band 4.5 or better in the Listening and Reading sections.  \nIf I don’t pass, what are my options?  \nStudents who do not pass their English Proficiency Assessment may choose to enroll in the English as a Second Language program at Sheridan. You may also choose to take the English Proficiency Assessment again. English Proficiency Assessment re-takes are allowed after three months. The test fee applies.  \nDescriptions of Band Levels: Listening and Reading  \n5.0 Very Good User  \nVery good command of the English language, even in demanding contexts; high degree of comprehension; only occasional unsystematic inaccuracies and inappropriateness in communication, which very rarely impede communication. Level of proficiency is acceptable for full time academic study.  \n4.0 Competent User  \nGenerally effective command of the English language in demanding contexts, with a satisfactory level of comprehension. Some inaccuracy and misunderstanding in less familiar contexts with more complex language. Weaknesses exist which sometimes impede communication and could affect performance in an academic program. Additional language training would be helpful to improve accuracy, speed, and overall proficiency.  \n3.0 Limited User  \nFair command of the English language only in familiar language contexts or in interactions with a sympathetic speaker; limited comprehension; markedly reduced effectiveness in demanding and unfamiliar situations. Systematic inaccuracies and misunderstandings significantly impede communication and comprehension; additional language training is required before being considered for academic placement.  \n2.0 Very Basic User  \nSome ability to function in highly contextualized, familiar situations, but no real command of the English language; frequent breakdowns in communication.  \n1.0 Novice  \nExtremely limited command of the English language. Please note that half-bands (e.g. 4.5) are awarded where a candidate’s performance exceeds that described in one band but does not fully meet the next higher level.  \nSAMPLE Listening Test Dialogue  \nBelow is an example of the kind of dialogue you might hear on the listening test. For this part of the test, the dialogue and the questions are recorded; they are NOT printed in your test booklet.
