Dear Level 5 Students:
If you want to get a Level 4 certificate but only passed three of the tests, you can take one test again.
For example, if you passed SPEAKING, READING, and LISTENING, but didn't pass WRITING, you can take the WRITING test again.
You must give me your yellow Level 4 card with test scores by this Friday. If you only passed two tests, you cannot take try again.
Tell your classmates! I cannot help you after Friday.
Sincerely,
Roland Trego
ESL Instructor
