ЦТ English Language case studies
ЦТ English Language · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The ЦТ (Централизованное тестирование) in English is a standardized multiple-choice examination used in Belarus as part of the centralized testing system for university admission. Candidates who plan to apply to programmes where English is an entrance subject sit it to obtain a certified score that institutions use in their selection process. It is intended for secondary-school leavers and other applicants with an upper-intermediate school-level command of English, and it tests reading comprehension, grammar and usage, vocabulary and word usage, everyday communication and situational English, and writing conventions such as spelling, punctuation and text organization. All items are multiple choice, so the exam rewards accuracy and careful reading rather than extended production. The ЦТ English Language case studies are 5 cases and about 2,913 words.
