Master the EST Literacy I Test: Essential Guide for Success

This guide is for American Diploma, IB, and international students seeking admission to Egyptian universities. Most Egyptian universities, except the American University in Cairo, require the Egyptian Scholastic Test (EST). We'll focus on the EST Literacy I Test, a crucial component of the EST exam.

EST Literacy I: Overview

The EST Literacy I is the writing section of the EST I exam. It tests communication skills, critical thinking, and writing ability. Here's what to expect:

  • Four passages, each with 11 questions
  • Total of 44 questions
  • 35 minutes to complete

You'll need to identify and correct issues in grammar, punctuation, style, and content relevance. Your task is to improve these passages to meet academic writing standards.

Note: An optional essay follows this section. While not required, it provides good practice.

EST Literacy I Scoring

Your score in the EST Literacy I is based on the number of correct answers. There's no penalty for wrong or skipped questions. The maximum score is 800. This score, combined with your EST Evidence-Based Reading score, gives a total EST I score out of 1600.

Strategies for Success

To succeed in the EST Literacy I, follow these strategies:

  1. Understand Question Types: Questions are based on Bloom's taxonomy, covering various cognitive levels from basic knowledge to complex reasoning. Familiarize yourself with these question types.
  2. Focus on Key Areas: Concentrate on grammar, punctuation, style, and relevance. Practice identifying and correcting errors, improving clarity, and enhancing overall style.
  3. Take Practice Tests: Use real or simulated tests to prepare. Our website offers AI-generated practice tests that mimic the actual exam.
  4. Use Free Resources: Take advantage of our free learning materials, including videos, notes, and exercises to improve your grammar, reading, and vocabulary skills.
