Secondary Level English Proficiency test

Secondary Level English Proficiency test

The Secondary Level English Proficiency Test is a test created by ETS and administered by American middle and high schools to applicants whose first language is not English. The test is equivalent to the TOEFL, which is administered by American colleges and universities to international applicants.

Unlike the TOEFL, however, the SLEP test is much less rigorous, comprised of only two sections versus the TOEFL's four. Additionally, the total time for the SLEP test should not exceed ninety minutes--forty-five minutes per section--whereas the TOEFL requires several hours.
