About Encounters Class Testing

Welcome to the online Class Test Center, which represents one of the many ways in which Encounters is setting a new standard for language instruction. The Center provides easy, early, and ongoing access to the program's rich resources. It also offers several ways for instructors to share suggestions and comments so Encounters can better meet their needs and the needs of their students.

Most publishers don't offer Class Testing on the web, but as you can see from the summary below, it's as easy as 1-2-3-4! Instructions are available at each step of the process to guide you. There is also a "Need Help?" link at the top of every page of the Class Test Center.
