Frequently Asked Questions
Developed in collaboration with a leading educational institution in the Arabic speaking world, the Avant APT is adaptive and designed to measure the real world proficiency levels in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA).
The test is primarily designed for students who are being educated in English-medium international schools. Schools that deliver the APT use the data to refocus their curricula.
Schools also introduce professional development to hone their teachers’ ability to deliver improved outcomes. By using the Avant APT to measure students’ proficiency levels, schools can assure all stakeholders, including parents and local education ministries, that their students are graduating with high levels of Arabic proficiency.
Avant offers our STAMP language proficiency ASSESSMENT for learners studying Arabic as a second language.
For placement of students learning Arabic as a second language, Avant offers PLACE in Arabic. Both Avant STAMP and Avant PLACE are designed for English speaking learners of Arabic.
The APT is part of the STAMP Monolingual language proficiency testing family.
An increasing number of districts have chosen Avant STAMP assessments as their preferred test to qualify students for their State and Global Seal of Biliteracy programs.
Verify qualifications for State Seal of Biliteracy for your state.

“The Avant Assessments in Arabic helped the school to recognize areas for improvement. Students individual areas to work on were identified and differentiated instruction was planned. I am happy to recommend them to other schools.”
