IMPORTANTE: COMUNICADO DE POLITICAS LINGÜISTICAS

Dear Teachers,

Thank you for your patience. We have been working hard in the process to obtain the CEPT (Cambridge English Placement Tests), but it was worth the effort.

We are sending this e-mail so you can check everything and be ready for the test while we prepare the tokens (access code) for each of you.

The plan is to have sent each candidate his/her token by Thursday 22 and to set a deadline for submitting the test for Sunday 25, midnight.

Attached you will find the technical specifications. Please also consider the following before using the tokens:

1. Before you run a test, ensure that your PC meets the technical requirements given in Appendix A and are configured as explained in Appendix B (both attached).
2. Load the page www.cpt.cambridgetest.org in Internet Explorer on your PC. The page contains two buttons: Tutorial and Test.
3. If you are not familiar with computer-based tests, please view the Tutorial; otherwise click the Test button.
4. We advise to view the Tutorial first as it will be useful for checking sound and volume.
5. After clicking the Test button, you will see a field in which to type your token.
6. Type your token in this field. The test starts and lasts 30 minutes.
7. If you cannot hear anything when the test should be producing sound, check the volume control on your PC and make sure that it has the latest version of Adobe Flash Player® installed.
8. If your PC experiences a black out or internet interruption do not panic. If the problem does not last more than two hours you can type your token again and continue the test from the point it was interrupted. Otherwise, we as Test Administrators can reset the tokens and allow you to finish it.
9. The reasons stated in number 8 are the only ones to interrupt the test. The system reports any misuse to the Test Administrator and this may result in invalidating the test.

We wish you a successful and satisfactory experience.

Kind regards,

Milto de Castro

Appendix B: Configuring Internet Explorer 7 on Candidate PCs

If Internet Explorer 7 is not configured correctly for Cambridge Placement Test, you may

encounter problems such as the following:

• The test does not start when Candidates enter their tokens.

• Internet Explorer displays a security message referring to a local clipboard.

• Internet Explorer displays pop-up blocker messages and scripting warnings.

To avoid such problems, follow the steps below. If you use Internet Explorer 6 and have

problems, similar steps may help.

Make Cambridge Placement Test a trusted site

1. In Internet Explorer 7, open the Tools menu and choose Internet Options.

2. On the Security tab, click the “Trusted sites” icon and then the Sites button.

3. In the “Add this Web site to the zone” field, type one of the following addresses:

• on PCs that will use the Administration website:

www.admincpt.cambridgetest.org

• on PCs that will use the Candidate website:

www.cpt.cambridgetest.org

4. Click the Add button.

5. Click the Close button.

6. If the Default Level button is enabled, click it.

7. With “Trusted sites” still selected, move the slider in the lower part of the Internet

Options box to the Medium-Low position. (The setting applies only to the websites in

your Trusted Sites security zone.)

8. Click the OK button.

Adjust the Pop-Up Blocker setting

4. Click the Close button.

Allow access to the local clipboard

On Candidate PCs, the Cambridge Placement Test needs to be able to clear the local

clipboard to help prevent Candidates copying and printing questions. (The following

procedure applies only to sites in the Trusted Sites zone.)

Options.

2. On the Security tab, select Trusted Sites and click the Custom Level button.

COMUNICADO POLITICAS LINGUISTICAS

1º de agosto de 2013

Estimados docentes de inglés,

Les informamos que la convocatoria para el “Placement Test” de Cambridge ha sido un éxito, se superó el número de aspirantes previsto. Esto nos alegra mucho pues demuestra que los docentes estamos dispuestos a actualizarnos y superarnos.

En la convocatoria les decíamos que entre el 1º y el 4 de agosto se realizaría el “Placement”, esta instancia se verá demorada unos días por los siguientes motivos:

-Estamos chequeando con las inspecciones de cada subsistema que los candidatos estén en actividad.

-Algunas personas se inscribieron más de una vez y tenemos que considerarlo detenidamente para no duplicar ningún código al momento de enviarlos.

-Estamos teniendo video conferencias con técnicos de Cambridge para ajustar detalles, para generar los códigos y para que cada test pueda ser procesado sin problema.

Luego de este e-mail si falla el envío a algún candidato tendremos que contactarlos telefónicamente para asegurarnos que todos reciban la información.

En un próximo e-mail les enviaremos las especificaciones técnicas para que tengan sus equipos prontos en el momento del test y les daremos la nueva fecha para el mismo.

Finalmente tendremos que ingresar los códigos para cada uno de uds. en forma individual.

Queremos que tengan la certeza que estamos trabajando para que todo resulte bien, agradecemos su paciencia y participación en esta experiencia inédita para la educación en Uruguay. Atentamente.
