The Michigan English Test (MET) is a digital English proficiency exam from Michigan Language Assessment, offered at approved MET Test Centers and Prometric locations worldwide. It is aimed at secondary-school students through adults, and it reports performance across CEFR levels A2 to C1, so it serves high-beginner through advanced candidates rather than a single narrow band. Recognizing organizations use it for immigration, work, and study; the Australian Department of Home Affairs accepts it for visa purposes, and U.S. agencies and boards of nursing accept it for licensure and visa applications. Topics on this exam: Writing, Listening, Reading, and Speaking. The MET study guide has 4 sections and about 1,252 words.
01MET Writing: Task Fulfillment, Organization, and Accuracy
MET Writing is a productive-skills section aligned to CEFR A2–C1. Candidates write functional and academic texts, and raters judge task fulfillment, organization, coherence and cohesion, lexical resource, and grammatical range and accuracy. The prompt defines the audience, purpose, and register, so every sentence should serve that brief. Decode the prompt: who reads it, why, and how formal?
316 words, about 2 min02MET Listening: Real-Time Comprehension and Inference
MET Listening measures comprehension of spoken English at CEFR A2–C1. Tasks include short conversations and longer talks, and questions target main idea, detail, inference, speaker purpose, and attitude. The challenge is real-time processing: you hear the text once, so you must predict, listen for signposts, and keep a mental map of who says what. Read the question stem before the audio starts and predict the topic and likely vocabulary.
313 words, about 2 min03MET Reading: Selective Reading and Textual Evidence
MET Reading assesses understanding of written English across everyday and academic texts at CEFR A2–C1. Questions target main idea, explicit detail, inference, vocabulary in context, reference, and text organization. The section rewards selective reading: you do not need to understand every word, but you must locate evidence and recognize paraphrase. Skim the passage first for topic, purpose, and tone.
315 words, about 2 min04MET Speaking: Interactive Fluency and Developed Answers
MET Speaking is an interactive interview at CEFR A2–C1. Tasks move from personal information to description, opinion, and problem-solving. Assessors listen for fluency, coherence, lexical resource, grammatical range and accuracy, pronunciation, and interactive communication. The test is a conversation, not a speech: responding to the interviewer's follow-up matters as much as the first answer.
