Why Take CAEL?
CAEL is one of the best tools for identifying students with the right English skills for academic success. It provides an authentic representation of language use in a Canadian academic context. Test takers read articles, listen to a lecture, answer questions, and write a short essay, as they would be expected to do in a Canadian university or college classroom.

What I liked most about the CAEL was that you can do the test on the computer, it uses Canadian English, and the results are released quickly!
I appreciated the availability of test dates for CAEL, and found it convenient and inexpensive compared to other English proficiency tests.
