SPEAK (Speaking Proficiency in English Assessment Kit) Test:

The IELC administers the SPEAK test for international graduate students wishing to serve as Teaching Assistants and international students wishing to apply for the Nursing program at UNR.

International Graduate Teaching Assistants who have a speaking score below 24 on the iBT version of the TOEFL must also take the SPEAK test and receive a score of 50 or better. A score of 50 on the Test of Spoken English (TSE) can be substituted for the SPEAK Test. International students applying for the Nursing program need a score of 55 or better on the SPEAK test.

To make an appointment to take the SPEAK test, please contact IELC at (775) 784-6075. The cost of the test is $60.
