<div dir="ltr"><div><p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">Dear Theophile,</p><p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">Thank you for sharing your concerns about your English proficiency score and your timeline. I understand how frustrating this situation can feel, and I appreciate your openness in discussing it.</p><p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">From an academic perspective, reaching the required passing score for the MA-R program will require significant effort and preparation. The difference between your current score (VEPT 31) and the required score (VEPT 60) is quite substantial. Because of this gap, it is unlikely that the required level could be reached within a month or so.</p><p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">My honest advice is that you should only come to AIIAS when you are fully prepared for what it entails. Based on your last email, if you arrive in May with a VEPT score of 31, you would most likely be placed in Level 1 at the English Center. Each level at the English Center lasts one term (8 weeks) and requires a financial investment of at least USD $750, not including housing, food, personal expenses, or airfare.</p><p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">Another important factor to consider is the start date of the MA-R program, which begins in August.</p><p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">For this reason, it may be wise to use the time between now and July to strengthen your English skills. You can take advantage of many free online resources to practice reading, listening, speaking, and writing. At the same time, this period could also help you prepare financially and save funds for at least one semester at AIIAS. A minimum estimate for living and study expenses for one semester is around USD $1,500.</p><p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">Please take time to pray about this decision and discuss it carefully with your family and trusted friends. In the meantime, continue doing everything you can to improve your English. With consistent effort and preparation, you will place yourself in a much stronger position for success.</p><p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">I wish you the very best as you plan your next steps.</p></div><div><br></div><div>Use the following materials for the official guide for VEPT preparation:</div><div><a href="https://www.pearson.com/content/dam/one-dot-com/one-dot-com/pearson-languages/en-gb/pdfs/versant-resources/versant-by-pearson-english-placement-test-official-test-guide.pdf">https://www.pearson.com/content/dam/one-dot-com/one-dot-com/pearson-languages/en-gb/pdfs/versant-resources/versant-by-pearson-english-placement-test-official-test-guide.pdf</a> </div><div><br></div><div>Kind regards,</div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-family:Roboto,RobotoDraft,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" style="padding:0in 0in 4.5pt"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><font face="times new roman, serif" color="#274e13"><span style="font-size:18.6667px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><b><i>--</i></b></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)" color="#274e13"><b><i><span style="font-size:14pt"><font face="times new roman, serif">Beverly Nunes, MS, PhD(c)</font></span></i></b><br></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><font face="arial, sans-serif" color="#274e13"><i style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><span style="font-size:10pt">English Center Director, AIIAS English Center</span><span style="font-size:12pt"></span></i></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><font color="#274e13" face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:13.3333px"><i>Writing Center Director, AIIAS Writing Center</i></span></font></p></td></tr><tr><td valign="top" style="padding:0in 0in 4.5pt"><div style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><p class="MsoNormal"><img src="https://ci3.googleusercontent.com/mail-sig/AIorK4wVxeHHKCCo6AmLFdvvq5NZF_TENBj_VjpkZDjkbiGApJ6xMunyCg0ymBdBZ-82cngzR158gHIpt0JU" width="200" height="50"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)" color="#274e13"><span style="font-size:9pt">P.O.
