GETS Elementary

The GETS Elementary Test comprises of 2 modules, Creative Skills and Aural Comprehension & Composition. The total exam duration is 50 minutes.
The GETS Elementary exam assesses the following skills:

• Aural Comprehension: Aural Comprehension works in conjunction with phonetic instruction and entails speech perception (sound and word recognition) and processing of information to be held in short-term memory. It is an active skill required for effective language learning.
• Composition: Composition refers to the ability to write a story by using information provided in the form of input pictures and oral instructions. It assesses clarity of ideas conveyed whilst encouraging creative cognition.
• Logical Reasoning: Logical Reasoning addresses the thinking ability of students and helps build fundamental skills such as acquisition of information, forming associations, comparing, categorising and sequencing the information and focusing attention and spatial awareness — paramount in the study of academic disciplines.
• Verbal Reasoning: Verbal Reasoning assesses the ability of students to understand and use concepts of words and to recognise subject vocabulary. This part enables the acquisition of new vocabulary, the skills of checking meaning and consolidation of the meaning.
• Visual Understanding: Visual Understanding checks the ability of students to understand and follow a variety of visuals that they encounter in the world around them and also those used in the study of academic school subjects.
