QUT now accepts a range of English language proficiency results and determines equivalent scores against the IELTS tests. in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many countries have banned large gatherings of people, this has, in turn, impacted the ability of prospective international students to complete IELTS, TOEFL or Pearsons tests. While the restrictions will be progressively eased, it is anticipated that IELTS, TOEFL or Pearsons test centres will have longer wait time for test bookings and will sit smaller numbers of students. The following alternative tests are approved by QUT.
QUT Password test can now be used for Foundation and Diploma entry
QUT International College (QUTIC) has been using Password as a placement test for our English pathway packages since 2015. The test accurately determines the duration of English language study, needed by students before progressing to their degree. We are excited to announce that the Password test can now also be used by students to meet the English language requirement for entry into Foundation and Diploma programs. This test can be taken instead of an IELTS, TOEFL, PTE or other standardised English proficiency tests. This test is currently not approved for direct entry into QUT degree courses.
The QUT Password test is free for students and can be taken at any time. It can be conducted by agents in your offices or at QUTIC if your student is in Brisbane. Tests are marked and results are sent to QUT within 48 hours. Test duration is about 1.5 hours and students will have their reading, writing, and English language knowledge assessed.
If you would like access to the QUT Password test please contact your QUT International regional team.
