Level 2 Reading Final Test: Second Semester

The second semester Level 2 Reading Final Test is now ready. There is no need to print out the tests, they will be printed for you. This posting is just for reference purposes.

1) The test requires students to know enough of the words to put them into a cloze. There are also a lot of questions tapping a purely receptive understanding, and a few spelling items.
2) The cloze sections are summaries of the stories in the units. So, the students who regularly come to class will be at an advantage.
3) Some students will finish much quicker than others. To to keep the fast finishers occupied, there is a riddle at the end. The answer is on the answer sheets.
4) There are two versions of the tests to provide an obstacle to any nefarious test taking strategies. The tests cover the same material, but the questions are in a different order.
5) The test can be given any time that suits the intructor.

Apart from the spelling questions which are each worth half a point, each question is worth one point. The grades to associate with the scores are the same as for the speaking test and are as follows:

49-50 A+
47-48 A
45-46 A-
43-44 B+
41-42 B
39-40 B-
37-38 C+
35-36 C
33-34 C-
31-32 D+
29-30 D
27-28 D-
26 and below F

As you will see from the scale above, scoring an A+ may be quite difficult. However, but many students should be able to score an A- if they have prepared regularly. It is hoped that many of the students should fall in the B range. Some students may receive an F according to this scale, but that mark still earns them points towards their final EIgo II grade.

Please feel free to pass on any feedback.
