"I'm afraid I'm not too familiar with these exams, but I know the intact procedures at language institutes are usually two- or three-fold--a combination of a multiple choice test with listening and reading, a writing sample, and then an interview. A number of schools are then flexible at the beginning of their terms, if that's their format, with placement, naming say 90 folks to go into classes of 15, dividing them up based on their economics, their number of teachers, number of desks, and so forth. Then the teachers are put on lookout to see if any of the students were poorly placed" Perhaps his second paragraph can be of help.
