Scoring

There is no pass/fail score. All test takers receive a certificate, which has the following information:

  • A score for each section of the test (maximum score of 5 medals per section)
  • A total score (maximum score of 15 medals).[2]

Students who achieve a total of 10 medals or more are ready to start preparing for the next level.

Usage

The YLTE are designed to be used as a way to prepare students for future English-language learning and help them develop their English skills, rather than as an institutional measurement device.[3]

The YLTE is taken by students living in many different countries around the world, such as: Afghanistan,[4] Albania,[5] Brazil,[6] Canada,[7] China,[7] Costa Rica,[8] Colombia,[9] Greece,[10] Italy,[11] Japan,[12][13] Jordan,[14] Malaysia,[15] Mexico (Ministry of Education),[16] Peru,[17] Portugal,[18] Romania,[19] Serbia,[20] Spain,[21] Ukraine,[22] Uruguay[23] and USA.[24]
