The Progress Test is a critical evaluation of your academic progress over a specific period. In most Philippine ESL schools, this assessment traditionally takes place on the last Friday of each month. However, at Philinter Academy, we pride ourselves on delivering a more tailored and student-focused approach to this evaluation.

Every Four Weeks: The Progress Test at Philinter Academy is conducted every four weeks from the start of admission. This personalized schedule ensures that each student’s testing timeline is unique and optimized for their learning journey.

Test Content: The specific content covered in the Progress Test may vary depending on the course and the level you are enrolled in.

At Philinter Academy, we are dedicated to elevating your proficiency to a certain level within your stipulated learning period. If, for any reason, your progress seems to be slower than expected, rest assured that we offer additional support such as make-up classes.

Our commitment is to help you reach your academic goals, ensuring that you receive the best possible learning experience.
