Summary: Standardized tests such as IELTS or TOEFL do not seem to be good predictors of academic success on their own. The present study revealed the C-test to be a powerful tool in that it allowed us to predict over one-third of the modules failed by international students in the UK.
Country of research: United Kingdom
Learners' background: China
Institutional level: tertiary
