Universities report that GATEWAY scores accurately reflect students’ English proficiency. Students report a far superior test experience than traditional tests

SALT LAKE CITY, HI, UNITED STATES, September 19, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- GATEWAY provides an authentic assessment of academic English, delivering a holistic profile of each applicant's English proficiency. With GATEWAY, universities can accept an affordable and accessible English test and trust the test scores they receive. For a limited time in 2024, GATEWAY is available at a 50% discount with the code "202450", reducing the cost to just $49.50 per test. The 90-minute assessment can be taken anytime, with scores delivered within 24 hours.

Admissions staff receive a holistic linguistic profile for each applicant–an overall score, detailed sub-skill scores, a video interview, and a written essay response. This detailed report helps universities make informed admissions decisions, supported by a deep understanding of each candidate's English proficiency. The video interview and writing sample enhance the transparency of the assessment, allowing admissions teams to gain insight into applicants' communication skills and personalities.

GATEWAY uses interactive video technology to simulate real-life academic scenarios. This immersive testing experience allows for open-ended, real-time responses, mirroring the demands of a dynamic English-speaking academic setting. Graduate departments particularly appreciate GATEWAY’s ability to showcase applicant’s speaking and writing ability.

We are sustainably delivering an affordable, accessible, online test that institutions trust. We are passionate about how international education improves our world and we are thrilled to provide a test that improves the experience for both the institution and the student.”

Rachel Krein, Director of Strategic Communications and Operations at Washington University in St. Louis OISS, stated, “English3’s GATEWAY test represents an innovative and practical approach to online English testing. GATEWAY’s test focuses on English needed for academic success and simulates real-life scenarios such as classroom or group discussions. Requiring real-time, open-ended spoken and written responses gives us a far more complete and trusted view of the applicant's English ability. For these reasons, we decided to accept the GATEWAY English Test as a strong alternative to longtime established in-person tests.”

"GATEWAY presents a complete linguistic profile of our students,” said Jane Borisova, the IEP Director at the University of Northern Colorado. “Video interviews allow us to observe students’ using the language and ‘get to meet’ them instead of just receiving a score report. English3 has drastically improved our graduation and retention rates. Previously, our graduation rate was around 66%; after the implementation of English3, it has been consistently around 85%."
