Frequently Asked Questions
1. How is the undergraduate English program organized?
The Institutional Language Program (PIL) sets as an institutional objective at the higher level the mastery of English level B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
(CEFR). Thus, in the bachelor's degree program, the B1 level contents are distributed throughout six English subjects:
- Introductory Conversations. Foreign Language (A1.1).
- Past and Future Events. Foreign Language (A1.2)
- Achievements and Experiences. Foreign Language (A2.1)
- Personal Decisions. Foreign Language (A2.2)
- Cause and Effect. Foreign Language (B1.1)
- In Other Words... Foreign Language (B1.2)
2. What happens if I do not take the English placement test in a timely manner?
You will start your language instruction at the basic level (Introductory Conversations. Foreign Language) and there will be no possibility to do it again.
3. How is the English placement test made up?
Está conformado por 6 niveles (A1.1, A1.2, A2.1, A2.2, B1.1 y B1.2 de acuerdo al Marco Común Europeo de Referencia para las Lenguas). Cada nivel evalúa las habilidades de comprensión lectora, comprensión auditiva y gramática y tiene duración de 30 minutos. Si y sólo si obtienes una calificación igual o superior a 9, el nivel es aprobado y puedes resolver el examen del siguiente nivel.
4. What happens to my test score?
- If you do not pass the first level, you will begin your English instruction in Introductory Conversations. Foreign Language

5. How do I access the English placement test?
El examen se realiza a través de la plataforma del Centro de Lenguas y está disponible las 24 horas durante los días indicados. Requieres tu número de cuenta y NIP asignados.
Recuerda que recibir ayuda de un tercero o hacer uso de materiales de consulta para su resolución te ubicará en un nivel que no te corresponde y, por ende, correrás el riesgo de reprobar asignaturas a futuro.
Why didn't the system let me continue with the next exam?
This is due to the fact that the exam for the level answered was not passed with the minimum grade (9) to unlock the subsequent level and therefore the evaluation is terminated at that time.
7. What happens if I did not answer all the English tests?
It is not necessary to answer all the exams as this depends on your level by level approval; that is, you will only answer the ones that the system indicates that you can take based on your knowledge and skills in the English language.
8. How many attempts are possible to perform the examination?
You have only one chance to answer the exam.
9. What do I do if the internet/light signal was lost or some other problem and I could not finish my exam?
You should send an email to cel@uaeh.edu.mx durante las siguientes 8 horas con la siguiente información para que sea brindado el acceso a la plataforma nuevamente:
10. What happens if I "fail" the placement test?
The placement test does not pass or fail, it only places you in the English level based on your knowledge and skills in the English language.
11. What happens if the time to answer the exam expires?
You will no longer be able to continue the other exams and you will have to end your participation in the placement exam.
12. How will I be informed of the results of the placement test?
You will be informed of the results via email. You will also be provided with the steps to complete your accreditation process in case you have passed more than one level. Remember that, making your accreditation request and paying the service fee (200 pesos) is essential for your English placement test result to be processed. If you do not complete the process or do not finish it, it is an indication that you waive your test result.
You must continue to attend class until you have duly completed the English accreditation process.
13. If I have an international English certificate (e.g. TOEFL; IELTS, CAMBRIDGE, etc.) do I have to take a placement test?
Yes, the English placement exam gives you the possibility of accrediting the entire English program, while the certificate, based on its validity, gives you the possibility of accrediting some subjects. Take the placement exam and from the following semester you can request the accreditation by certificate in case you still have some subjects to take.
