LIVE BEAT 1 & 2

The LIVE BEAT Placement Tests are designed to help the teacher to place students
at the right level of the LIVE BEAT series. The test contains 100 Multiple Choice
questions and is designed to last for 45 minutes. If students get less than 80% of
the answers right, they should start from LIVE BEAT 1. If they get more than 90%
of the answers right, they start from LIVE BEAT 2. 80-90% of right answers puts
students in the middle of the two levels and your decision as to where to place
these students should depend on the level of the rest of the class.
