Trouver un tuteur est souvent un mal de tête, surtout lorsque votre test est à seulement quelques semaines. Se sentir stressé par un examen n'est pas amusant. Vous vous rendez compte probablement que si vous n'utilisez pas de tuteur, vous ne devriez pas être préparé adéquatement, mais si vous engagez un tuteur insatisfaisant, vous risquez de perdre encore plus de temps et d'argent.

Updates

 February 7 2020
LPI will no longer be offered by the Paragon Testing in May 2020 and instead will be using the CAEL CE. Therefore we will dicontinue giving LPI lessons after April 15th. It seems very few places are still requiring it - Central Saanich Police services, Douglas College, and Columbia College are among the few. The CAEL CE requires a speaking test, whereas the LPI does not, so please only consider LPI in the next two months of speaking is your weak area.

For those applying for open spots at Ashbury Secondary School (Private school in Ottawa), the school does use a CAT 4 exam but it is at a grade 6 -7 level. This test is only 3 hours long and the style of questions is similar but not exactly the same as the CAT 4 test given to those applying for IB entrance. If you wish to take preparation lessons in this lighter form of CAT please let us know.

January 18 2020
A big congratulations to all CAT 4 students who took the exams on January 11 and January 18th. The exam is a big 4.5 hour exam, a marathon even by standardized exam demands.

August 17, 2019
It may be a good idea to do your CAT 4 in early this year as classes fill up very quickly from October to December. We can also assist with your application and it is best to get onto this as early as possible. The application questions are as important as the CAT 4 test, but are not as dependent on your child's English proficiency.
 
July 10th, 2019
For those applying into Ashbury College, Ottawa, a private school with an IB program, please note that they also accept SSAT as well as CAT 4. 

June 9th 2019
Summer is on and a good time to get an early start on exams. Summer is a busier time for TPS Tests but hours are extended so check with us on availability as early as possible

June 4th 2019
MELAB has discontinued. You may still see it as a proficiency test option but the testing organization has stopped giving it.
