TIE exam is also on the ILEP list of accepted exams and it’s designed and administered by IELT. It consists of a speaking and a writing test with the intention to measure how well you can communicate in English. It is an exam that learners can take at any level.

TIE (Test of Interactive English) is a multi-level exam based on three real-life tasks: reading a book, following a news story, and researching and preparing a presentation on a topic of the student’s choice. These tasks must be completed in advance before the exam day in order to be able to take it. The emphasis on pre-exam tasks allows even lower-level students to fully prepare and show their English skills at their best on the exam day.

The exam itself consists of a writing and a speaking test
The nature of the exam tasks makes TIE a very realistic test of your English skills. It has a writing and a speaking test based on the book, news story, and research presentation prepared in advance of the test. There is no ‘grammar’ paper and listening is tested solely through the students’ ability to communicate during the speaking test.
