Adaptive assessment pathway
The assessment responds to learner performance and adjusts question difficulty to gather more targeted evidence of English-language capability.
Adaptive English Placement Assessment for RTOs and ELICOS providers.
A CEFR-referenced English Entry Placement Test that responds to learner performance and produces domain-level results, placement insights and practical support recommendations.
Overview
A simple and student-friendly English Placement Test.
Use EduX EEPT for student English placement and entry decisions with a fully mapped report with CEFR level indicators, proficiency analysis, and support recommendations.
EduX English Placement Test can be used any time during a student life cycle to assess gained proficiency as they move between ELICOS and General English levels.
EduX EEPT is not an IELTS substitute but can provide the equivalent indicators based on CEFR to IELTS mapping, particularly equivalent General English levels for VET entry, if provisioned. A useful tool for ELICOS + VET providers at a fraction of the cost. Buy seats as needed.
Key features
What the EduX EEPT offers.
CEFR-referenced outcomes
Results are referenced to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, supporting consistent interpretation of English proficiency.
Domain-level proficiency profile
The report distinguishes performance across the assessed English-language skill areas rather than relying only on one overall result.
More efficient learner experience
Adaptive routing reduces unnecessary exposure to long sequences of questions that are consistently above or below the learner’s demonstrated level.
Placement and support insight
Results include practical information that providers can use when considering placement, additional assessment and English-language support.
Connected learner record
EEPT results, reports and related provider actions are retained within the learner’s broader EduX record alongside other entry and support products.
Provider review and finalisation
EduX supports the placement process by generating structured evidence. The provider retains responsibility for reviewing the result and making the final placement or admission decision.
How it works
Targeted placement evidence through an adaptive process.
- 01
Issue the assessment
The provider adds or selects the learner and issues a unique assessment link from within the EduX portal.
- 02
Establish the starting range
Initial responses provide evidence of the learner’s likely proficiency range.
- 03
Adapt the assessment pathway
The engine adjusts the difficulty and sequence of subsequent questions according to the learner’s demonstrated performance.
- 04
Analyse proficiency by domain
Results are evaluated across the relevant assessed English-language areas and referenced to CEFR.
- 05
Review the placement report
The provider receives a structured report containing the indicative level, domain-level results, observed support needs and placement considerations.
Reporting
More than an overall English score.
Each completed assessment produces a report showing:
- indicative CEFR outcome;
- domain-level English-language results;
- demonstrated strengths;
- areas requiring further review;
- possible language-support needs;
- placement considerations;
- assessment details for recordkeeping.
Reports remain connected to the learner’s EduX record and can be reviewed, retained and downloaded by authorised provider staff.
Framework alignment
Referenced to an internationally recognised language framework.
EduX EEPT results are referenced to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
CEFR provides a widely recognised basis for describing English-language proficiency and interpreting placement outcomes.
The assessment is designed for use within Australian education and training settings and produces practical provider-facing information to support entry, placement and learner-support decisions.
CEFR outcomes are indicative and should be considered alongside:
- the learner’s intended course;
- available supporting evidence;
- the provider’s entry requirements;
- additional assessment where required;
- relevant learner-support considerations.
