THE ONLINE EPT AT A GLANCE  \n\n| The Online English Placement Test (EPT) is a vehicle to determine accurate placement in the English as a Second Language (ESL) courses administered by the Department of Linguistics (formerly DEIL) . The test is applicable to undergraduate and graduate students. Although graduate students typically must take the test on campus, due to circumstances created by the COVID-19 pandemic, graduate students may also take the Online EPT. |\n| --- |\n| To be exempt from EPT, students must score either:\u003Cbr>• On TOEFL iBT: total 103 or above, and 25 or above on both speaking & writing; or\u003Cbr>• On IELTS: 7.5 or above total, and 7 or above on both speaking & writing.\u003Cbr>This requirement is established by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Senate. However, individual departments may set higher standards. Further details about TOEFL and IELTS requirements are given on the following websites:\u003Cbr>• For undergraduate, transfer, and non-degree students/applicants:\u003Cbr>[https://citl.illinois.edu/citl-101/measurement-evaluation/placement-proficiency/cutoff](https://citl.illinois.edu/citl-101/measurement-evaluation/placement-proficiency/cutoff)\u003Cbr>scores/2020-cutoff-scores-esl\u003Cbr>• For graduate students/applicants:\u003Cbr>[https://grad.illinois.edu/admissions/instructions/04c](https://grad.illinois.edu/admissions/instructions/04c)\u003Cbr>Format: The test is comprised of two components which elicit a comprehensive range of writing abilities and oral skills. This includes a writing section and an oral section. Both are administered online (see 2. Test Components) . The written section involves a minilecture and short reading passages on a given topic, followed by an essay task. The purpose of the lecture is to assure that examinees will fully understand the given topic and obtain necessary input to their writing process. The oral section involves providing spoken answers to general questions, completing a read-aloud task, and responding to questions about a video and visual information. Each section is to be completed within the 48-hour testing window as scheduled during registration. This is described in 3.
