The CAEL test is an English language proficiency test that is used to assess a student's ability to succeed in a Canadian post-secondary institution. The test is designed to be an accurate representation of English language use in a Canadian academic setting. Test takers read articles, listen to lectures, answer questions, and write brief essays, just like they would be expected to do in a first-year Canadian university or college classroom.
The CAEL test is a valuable tool for students who are looking to study in Canada. The test results can help students to demonstrate their English proficiency to universities and colleges, and they can also help students to identify areas where they need to improve their English skills.
