How Do I Move Up an English Level?

To make certain your English classes are challenging, you are assessed throughout your English course. The standard of your class work and homework, and your results on end-of-unit tests, determine your class level for the next unit of study. We expect it will take between 8-12 weeks to progress from one level to the next.
