What is EPT?
EPT is English placement test. Before you study in IIUM, you should know that you have to obtain the minimum score of english test. If you have had english score such as from TOEFL or IELTS, you may show your certificate to IIUM staff admission and you might not take EPT in IIUM. However, if you don't have score yet, you have to take EPT after enrolment day. The score required is depending on your course. Both candidate of undergraduate and postgraduate are required to pass EPT.
Usually, for EPT all is required to obtain minimum band 6, except for students who will not take english course. For example, students of qur'an and sunnah departement who take only qur'anic course and they have to sign and make official statement to the deputy that they will not take english course and only take qur'anic course. These students have to obtain only band 3 for english. However, it is very little. Most students want to take both english and arabic course.
Furthermore, it is impossible to only speak arabic in campus because most international students are speaking english. So, better you prepare your english well.
APT (Arabic Placement Test), is similar with EPT. All of candidate undergraduate students are required to pass this placement test. However, candidate of postgraduate students are not required to pass APT, except they who take course in arabic course or IRK (Islamic Revelead Knowedge) faculty. Like me, for instance, I take qur'an and sunnah course, and the departement require me to obtain band 7 in arabic.
Besides that, there is Tilawah Placement Test for all candidate of postgraduate students.
That is all, if you have any questions, please don't be hasitate to ask me.

Alsalamualaikum , i have APT And ETP test soon in IIUM and I'm a bit afraid of it ,i have few questions i hope you answer :
BalasHapus1- do undergraduate students have to take The Thelawah replacement?
2-what happens if a student did not pass the EPT ? Does he have to apply in a different University even if he already got the offer letter from IIUM?
3- also what happens if students did not pass the APT ?
4-the reading part of EPT (60 Minutes) do students have to read it to the examiner or they read it in order to ansewr the question written in the exam ?
5- is there a speaking test in ATP and ETP that student have to pass?
waalaikumussalam
Hapus1. yes, they have to take thelawah placement test (tpt)
2. if a student did not pass the EPT they will get score that determine in which level they have to enter language class under CELPAD
for example, if you get score band 5, it means that you are in class level 6
3. same answer if you dont pass EPT
4. the reading section is for you to answer the questions
5. in the first ept and apt there is no speaking test, but if u dont pass ept or apt and you must enter language class, in the last of semester there will be speaking test before writing test
Thank yousomuch .that was helpful
