LIVE BEAT 2 & 3

The LIVE BEAT Placement Tests are designed to help the teacher to place students
at the right level of the LIVE BEAT series. The LIVE BEAT 3 Placement Test contains
50 Multiple Choice questions and is designed to last for 25 minutes. If students
get less than 80% of the answers right, they should start from LIVE BEAT 2. If they
get more than 90% of the answers right, they start from LIVE BEAT 3. 80-90% of
right answers puts students in the middle of the two levels and your decision as to
where to place these students should depend on the level of the rest of the class.
