RMIT English Worldwide uses both formal and informal tools to assess students in English language courses.

Informal assessment includes regular homework and classroom activities to monitor the progress of each student throughout the course.

Formal assessment includes tests, ongoing assessment activities, projects, essays, assignments and other planned activities. For most courses, tests are scheduled at the following intervals:

• At the end of the first module there is Mid Course Assessment.
• At the end of the second module there is End Course Assessment.

The Mid Course Assessment (MCA) and End of Course Assessment (EOC) assess the skills of Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing.
