To write a for the American Language Course Placement Test ( ALCPT ) Form 115, you must focus on specific military or daily life contexts, as the ALCPT uses the Defense Language Institute (DLI) curriculum.

Form 115 often includes words that sound similar. For example, if you hear "The troops were at the base," a distractor might be "The troops were stationary at the base." Practice minimal pair exercises.

The ALCPT is scored out of 100. Each question is worth one point. The conversion to ALC levels is generally as follows:

ALCPT scores range from 0 to 100. The score is calculated by subtracting the number of wrong answers from the number of correct answers (there is a penalty for guessing).
