Who is it for?
The ECCE emphasizes communicative use of English rather than a formalistic knowledge of English, and it is aimed at students who are able to function and perform communicative transactions in all four skill areas of the language (speaking, listening, reading, and writing). The language tested is 'general', rather than 'academic'.

What is the Michigan ECCE test like?

The test takes 3 hours and has these sections:

  1. Listening - 2 sections, 50 questions
  2. Grammar - 50 questions
  3. Vocabulary - 35 questions
  4. Reading - 3 sections, 30 questions
  5. Writing - 1 task
  6. Speaking - interview with examiner

How does the ECCE compare to other exams?
Those receiving an ECCE Certificate would be expected to have language skills comparable to those receiving a Cambridge First Certificate (FCE). ECCE Certificate holders are at the B2 level.
The skill level needed to achieve an ECCE Certificate would be expected to result in a TOEFL score ranging from 450 to 525, or a TOEFL CBT score between 133 and 195.

How is the ECCE scored?
The ECCE is scored using a method called aggregate scoring. Aggregate scoring allows students who are weak in one area to compensate by being strong in another area. This means you can fail one of the four sections (Speaking, Listening, Grammar-Vocabulary-Reading, Writing) and still pass the ECCE exam if your scores on other sections are significantly higher than the minimum pass level. Students who fail two or more sections will not pass the exam. Students who fail the exam will be told which sections they did not pass, so that they will know in which areas they need to improve. Generally, examinees must answer about 65% of the multiple-choice Listening and Grammar-Vocabulary-Reading items correctly in order to pass those sections. The following table gives an approximate comparison between the different exams.
