Avant STAMP 4S Proficiency Test
The Avant STAMP (Standards-Based Measurement of Proficiency) is an internationally recognized computer-based test of language proficiency. It tests all 4 skills: Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking. There are 30 listening and reading comprehension questions and 3 prompts each for writing and speaking.
Test questions are based on real-world, everyday situations and measure your language ability (Novice, Intermediate and Advanced with sub levels of Low, Mid and High) based on national standards set by the American Council for Teaching Foreign Language standards (ACTFL).
Cost: The test costs $42.90 (for all languages except Latin and Hebrew) and includes remote proctoring. You decide when and where you'd like to take the test.
Time limit: You have 3 hours to complete the test (the remote proctoring limits testing time). Most students report finishing within 2 hours.
- The Avant STAMP 4S Test Taker Guide includes information on remote proctoring (you will need to download proctoring software onto your computer and smartphone), testing tips, and a sample test.
- Testing accommodations are available
