Taking ABE Assessments

Taking ABE Assessments

ALL ABE modules are assesed by three-hour written external examinations are held twice a year (usually the first week in June and December).

ABE has examination centres worldwide. These centres are of the highest standard and comply with ABE requirements in terms of accommodation facilities and access. All centres are approved by national Ministry of Education, British Council or a similar body.

ABE does not hold examinations within any of its accredited colleges or universities.

The centre takes responsibility for the administration of ABE examinations including receipt and security of examination papers, conducting examinations, invigilating and despatch of scripts to ABE after the examination.

If there is no established centre in a student's country, the student will be required to find a professional person who is willing to invigilate their examination. Students should approach the local British Council office, a University College or college of higher education.

Details should then be passed to the Examination Department together with the student's examination entry form and fees. Students may be required to pay the centre's administration charges.
