METU Proficiency Exam Practice: May 2024

Monday, May 20, 2024

Dear students and colleagues, I'm very happy to announce that I'm back with some METU English Proficiency Exam (EPE) careful reading and vocabulary part practice materials. Because my previous publishing site issuu has disappeared, I'm using another platform called anyflip. You can see below the related links to reach the two full sets of Careful Reading and Vocabulary Paper.

As in previous years, I've put maximum effort in choosing up-to-date articles from prestigious magazines and journals that deal with global issues. The texts are carefully edited to conform with the level, length and other specifications of metu epe. The approach to question design and the format again reflect the latest epe specifications found in the epe booklet. As these are practice materials, there may be one or two extra questions for some texts. I hope you benefit greatly from these materials. Please add any comments you consider appropriate including the pointing out of any mistakes and unclear parts.

Dear students and colleagues, to reach the metu proficiency exam careful reading and vocabulary practice materials use the following new links. The previously announced links stopped functioning.

ABOUT ME

I have been involved in language testing and assessment for about 30 years.

In addition, I worked as a full member of COPE (Certificate of Proficiency in English) team taking active part in the design, administration and standardization of COPE for almost a decade. I trained many test writers and am the co-writer of the first COPE practice book. I also worked as the Head of the Testing Unit before leaving BUSEL. I continued on my testing career path at Middle East Technical University, Modern Languages Department. I was a member of English Proficiency Exam committee and got involved in all the aspects of proficiency testing (production, administration, standardization and training) for eight years .Later, I became the coordinator of MLD Testing Committee and gave guidance to other testers in the production, administration and standardization of EAP (English for Academic Purposes) achievement tests (midterm and final exams). When I was based in Cyprus for 15 years ,I worked at METU Northern Cyprus Campus, Modern Languages Program as an EAP instructor and testing coordinator.
