Matura Focus Placement Tests

The Matura Focus Placement Tests are designed to help the teacher

to place students at the right level of the Focus series. Each test

contains 100 multiple-choice questions and is designed to last for an

hour. If students get less than 60% of the answers right, they should

use the lower level indicated in the title, e.g. for the Focus 1/Focus 2

test they should use Focus 1. If they get more than 70% of the

answers right, they should use the higher level indicated in the title.

60–70% of right answers puts students in the middle of the two levels

and your decision as to where to place these students should depend

on the level of the rest of the class.
