The LOEP test

The Level of English Proficiency (LOEP) test is for students whose native language is not English. It measures your English skills in:

• Reading
• Language/speaking comprehension

Who should take the LOEP test?

SCC may require students to take admissions or placement tests before entering a program. The test you take depends on the program you want to enter. The LOEP test meets SCC's requirement for students entering the English Language Institute that is designed for international students who want to learn English.

Your LOEP scores will not prevent you from enrolling in the English Language Institute. SCC uses the LOEP score to:

• Determine your English skill level
• Place you in the program level in which you should begin your studies; beginning in the right level is critical to learning English
• Identify your strengths and weaknesses; by knowing what areas you need help in, your instructors can work with you to strengthen your skills in those areas

What if I haven't taken the LOEP?

You can take the LOEP exam at SCC. Please contact the Assessment and Testing Center for more information.
