why do you need to take a placement test?

Do you know your English level? Are you an A2 or C1? It's not enough to just know your level, you need to know where you need help, in order to improve.  When you are able to see where your problems are at every level, you can become more fluent and advance to the next level with a stronger foundation. 

This student took a placement test and found out that he was at a B2 level. However, at each level this student had problems which prevented him from advancing his English skills. These problems, although small, kept him from sounding like a native speaker and understanding new language skills. After he took this detailed exam, I was able to create a customized lesson plan and he was able to advance to a C1 level.
