MORE INFO

The official testing process itself evaluates your English skills prior to taking the exam. Therefore, middle to advanced skills are necessary. (Or you can always take this class a couple of times for practice — which is OK!) If you are unsure of your skills, enrollment in an English Class at the Adult School is advised. Or email me (Katherine Barg) for advice: ksbarg@pausd.org.
