test.The three sections of the test including listening,structure,reading,and vocabulary were used to measure 96 freshmen basic competences in English,before attending courses.Based on the result of TOEFL test,students were classifiedinto four classes from the highest to the lowest competency levels,namely A,B,C,and D.To measure the correlation level,the two sets of score were compared by usingPearson product moment correlation,the TOEFL score and students'achievement1ore.The score of students'achievement was derived from the final test of IntegratedCourse.There were 2 language skills and 2 language components that were tested:listening,reading,grammar and vocabulary.The medium positive and significantcorrelation level(0.41)indicated that TOEFL test was quiet valid to be used asinstrument for placement test.However,students'characteristics and backgroundshould be considered to achieve the high and significant correlation level  \nKeywords:placement test,TOEFLtest,and validity  \n# 照TRODUCTION\n\nIn order to improve the quality of education,since 2015,University Kanjuruhan of Malanghas required freshman to take placement testbefore joining Integrated Course.IntegratedCourse is the required course that students15uld take in the first semester.The mainpurpose of placement test is to place studentsbased on different levels of competences.Students with the same proficiency level willbe put in the same class.  \nPutting students in the samecompetence level of classes will ease the job ofteaching.It will be easier for the lecturers tomanage class and to design the most suitable  \nmaterials24d teaching method.If there isproblem in teaching and learning process,thelecturer can decide the effective strategy thatworks for most students.Moreover,forstudents,it reduces peer pressure,and studentswill be comfortable learning with classmateswho have the same competences.  \nTOEFL Test is commonly used asplacement test in a University,especially inEnglish Department Program.There are twotypes of TOEFL test,namely Computer Based(CB)TOEFL Test and Paper Based(PB)TOEFL Test.Both CB and PB TQYFL testconsist of four sections including listening  \nJIBS  \nsection,structure section,reading section,andwriting section.In this study,the TO₈FL testthat is used for placement test is PB TOEFLtest that consisted of three sections,listeningsection,structure section,and writing section.  \nThere are some considerations in usingTOEFL test as placement test:(1)TOEFL testis one of standardize tests that is ready to use sothat the lecturer could save time and energy,(2)TOEFL test is constructed in multiple choiceitem test format so that it is easy for the lecturerto score students'language competence,and  \n(3)TOEFL test used standardize scoringmethod so that the lecturer does not need toconstruct criteria for scoring.  \n1espite its benefits,some researchersargued the validity of TOEFL test as instrumentfor placement test.Belfield &Crosta(2012)and also Scott-Clayton(2012)found negativecorrelation between placement test score andstudents'achievement.Additionally,Saxon &Morante(2014)criticize the practice ofplacement test,he noticed that:(1)students dolittle preparation before test,(2)students lackof kno","cbCaiaPNJ53CeLpz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaPNJ53CeLpz","pdf",1629352,12,"English","#
