SDA Language School

Published by blogsmith under Bangkok Edit This

Finally, somebody told me to apply at SDA language School. They didn’t pay as much as the international schools did but I thought to myself that it would be good for a start. Maybe it was for me as well.

So off I went to the language school to send my resume and I was asked to take an English proficiency test–sort of. Wow, so strict, eh? International schools didn’t require that. Anyway, I was undeterred. The next day, I went back to take the test. To my surprise it says on the top of the questionnaire, “Oxford Placement Test”. Holly Molly! Am I going to get a seat in Oxford? Anyway, I started answering the questionnaires and it took me about two hours to finish it together with the listening test which was only a few questions anyway. But that was not the end. I had one more test–reading comprehension. But it was getting late and I was starving. So they asked me to go back the next day.  The reading comprehension test took me about an hour and a half.

Two days later, I got a call. Congratulations! You passed the tests.
