Arabic Language Proficiency Test

Arab Academy’s Arabic Language Proficiency Test (ALPT) is the global standard for measuring student proficiency levels in Arabic. There are five fundamental skills that are measured on the exam: Listening Comprehension, Reading, Structure, Writing, and Speaking.

The ALPT was developed in 2002 by leading experts in the field of Arabic Language Training. Arab Academy has partnered with these experts and has contributed to the further development of the Arabic Language Proficiency Test.

The ALPT currently serves as the global Arabic language proficiency standard in terms of reliability and validity. The test is adaptive in nature, allowing participants of all proficiency levels to be accurately assessed.
