PSI: Skills for English is a widely recognized English language proficiency test used by universities, employers, and other organizations to evaluate the language skills of non-native English speakers. It is administered by PSI Services LLC, a global testing and assessment company.
In addition to being a general English language proficiency test, PSI: Skills for English is also a UKVI SELT (Secure English Language Test) test. This means that it is approved by the UK government for the purposes of visa applications and other immigration purposes.
The PSI: Skills for English test is designed to assess the language skills of test takers in the areas of reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The test is delivered in a computer-based format and consists of multiple-choice questions and tasks that require test takers to demonstrate their language skills.
The test is divided into four sections: Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking. The Reading section measures your ability to understand written English, the Writing section measures your ability to write clear and coherent English, the Listening section measures your ability to understand spoken English, and the Speaking section measures your ability to speak English fluently and coherently. The total testing time for the PSI: Skills for English test is about three hours.
The PSI: Skills for English test is scored on a scale of 0 to 100 points, with each section receiving a separate score. The scores for each section are combined to create an overall score. The minimum score required for most organizations and programs is around 60-70 points, but the exact score requirements may vary depending on the organization or program.
