About the MET
The Michigan English Test (MET) is an examination for candidates who want to evaluate their general English language proficiency in social, educational, and workplace contexts. Listening recordings and reading passages reflect everyday, authentic interaction in an American-English linguistic environment. The MET:
- emphasizes the communicative use of English
- is designed to measure proficiency in the following basic language skill areas: listening, reading, and language usage (grammar and vocabulary)
- is offered monthly in authorized exam centers around the world
Who takes the MET?
The MET is intended for adults and adolescents at or above a secondary level of education who want to measure their general English language proficiency in a variety of linguistics contexts. It can be used for educational purposes, such as when finishing an English language course, or for employment purposes, such as applying for a job or pursuing promotion that requires an English language qualification. The MET is not an admissions test for students applying to universities and colleges in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom (see the MELAB).
