Password English Language Tests

Password English language tests are designed and academically managed by CRELLA (the Centre for Research in English Language Learning and Assessment), a research group involved in the development and validation of many of the world’s most renowned English language assessments including IELTS and the Cambridge suite.

The tests are formally aligned to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), the international standard for describing language ability.

These are white-label tests that allow universities and colleges to offer their own branded tests to help students meet admissions criteria or to test students on arrival for placement or to identify support needs. Students can take the tests online allowing for greater flexibility and affordability than other solutions.

Password Maths Tests

Password Maths is used both for admission and to assess new students on arrival. It is a modular test, consisting of a choice of different test modules set at different levels. All Password tests can be sat remotely online and are proven to have extremely high levels of accuracy since their launch in 2008.

Password Maths tests were developed following demand from institutions already using our English tests. In 2017, we undertook an extensive consultation with our partner universities, colleges and schools and worked with senior maths teachers from a consortium of leading UK independent schools to ensure the tests would enjoy the same academic validity and usability as our English tests.
