About STAMP 4S

Avant STAMP 4S is a general language proficiency assessment of Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking skills. It is designed for second-language learners aged 13 and older in school grades seven and above including middle and high schools, college and university students, and adults. 

STAMP 4S assessments may be purchased in one-, two-, and three-skill combinations. However, testing all four skills is recommended to obtain the best individual and longitudinal data. 

Avant STAMP uses authentic texts and audio in situations the learner may encounter in the real world.
