You will hear a range of accents, from British and American to non-native speakers, so you will be exposed to different accents that you may encounter in everyday life.

Note: In cases where YDS equivalency is required, you must take the PTE Academic Exam at one of our testing centers located at a state university.

PROFICIENCY Exams

Wimbledon Language Academy also offers one-to-one and group training programs for university entrance exams.

The main purpose of these training programs is to provide information about the question style and technique of the university you will take the placement exam. Because Proficiency exams differ from university to university. Students who are accepted to the university are placed in groups according to the results of the proficiency exam and can start their university education at whichever level of English they have.

Throughout the course, mock exams are given to improve your practice so that students' weaknesses can be identified and improved. The methods, exam format, exam techniques and grammar reinforcement content are all chosen to ensure success.

Every year, the syllabuses for the university entrance exams are updated by Wimbledon Academy's education coordinators and training is provided in accordance with these syllabuses.

IELTS (International English Language Testing System)

IELTS is perhaps one of the most important tests for those who want to study and pursue a career abroad. This test is recognized worldwide. Your English language ability is measured separately as listening, reading, writing and speaking during the test. The total duration of IELTS is 2 hours 45 minutes.

-Listening (4 sections, 40 questions, 30 min.)

-General English Reading (3 sections, 40 questions, 60 min.) - Academic English Reading (3 sections, 40 questions, 60 min.)

-General English Writing (2 topics, 150-250 words, 30 min.) - Academic English Writing (2 topics, 150-250 words, 60 min.)

-Speaking (11-14 min.)

This exam, which originated in the UK, is conducted in two types: IELTS Academic and IELTS General.

While IELTS General is usually a test requested by candidates who want to work in the private sector or who want to get an additional salary,

IELTS Academic is a test required from students who want to continue their education abroad. Some universities in Turkey also accept this test for preparatory courses.

Wimbledon Language Academy's education coordinators evaluate all these skills by taking the placement test before the English language education and organize the education according to the targeted score range and needs.

Wimbledon Academy has the right to organize exams in all its representative offices by forming groups of students who will apply during the exam periods. Therefore, Wimbledon is an IELTS Authorized Test Center with this right.

TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language)

Another important English proficiency test for career and study abroad opportunities is the TOEFL.

Wimbledon Language Academy is a "TOEFL Authorized Training" center.

TOEFL preparation courses are programs that question students' reading, writing, listening and speaking skills and are specially prepared for the acquisition of these skills. Wimbledon Academy's training directors take students to a placement test before the training and evaluate all these skills and organize the training according to their needs and target score range.

TOEFL preparation training programs are programs prepared by meticulously examining TOEFL exam questions from previous years.

In this direction, the four skills tested in the IBT TOEFL exam are emphasized by prioritizing grammar topics that have been frequently questioned before and words that have appeared or are likely to appear before.

These four skills are speaking, listening, reading and writing. The TOEFL is completed in 3.5 hours to 4 hours with a short break in between.

During the computerized TOEFL, the student is accompanied by a guide and a supervising teacher. This teacher provides technical support on how to do the test, how to use the computer and other issues.

Listening: 40-60 Minutes (28-39 questions)

Reading: 54-72 Minutes (30-40 questions)

Break 10 minutes

Speaking: 15-20 Minutes

Writing: 50 Minutes

Listening: Measures the ability to understand speeches, conferences and speakers.

Reading: Measures the ability to understand academic texts and extract information on a variety of topics.

Speaking: Assesses the ability to speak extemporaneously.

Writing: Measures the ability to write an essay on a specific topic.

An adequate TOEFL score enables students to be admitted to master's and doctoral programs, to be exempt from preparatory classes at many universities in Turkey that teach in English, and to obtain language equivalence for students who have studied abroad. Many institutions, organizations and companies around the world accept a good TOEFL score as proof of English proficiency in job applications.

YDS (Local Foreign Language Exam)

YDS, which is organized in our country to measure the knowledge and proficiency of various foreign languages, is seen as an important exam for many students and professionals.

It is generally preferred by banks, corporations and consulting firms in Turkey, and is taken by approximately 6 million candidates worldwide every year.
