The AUB English Entrance Examination (AUB-EN) is an English language proficiency assessment associated with the American University of Beirut. It is intended for applicants and students who need to demonstrate that their English is strong enough for study at an English-medium university, and it is listed alongside its results page in the AUB site navigation. This page is an independent study resource and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by AUB. Important caveat: the admissions page previously used for exam details currently returns a 404 "Page Not Found" error, so the exam's format, duration, scoring, passing threshold, fees, test dates, and retake rules could not be verified from the retrieved source and are reported as unknown here rather than guessed. Candidates should confirm all logistics directly with the AUB Testing Center and the Admissions English Requirements page, both linked from the AUB site. Because the exam is a proficiency test, preparation should focus on broad English skills rather than memorized facts: reading comprehension of academic and general texts, vocabulary in context, grammar and sentence structure, and clear written expression.
