✺ Frequently asked questions ✺

  • Typically, six hours with Mr May and 4 to 6 hours of preparation on your own is sufficient.

  • During training sessions, you will receive recommendations for your lesson plan and feedback on your delivery.

  • We offer these sessions both online and at our office. In any event, Mr May will participate via Zoom.

  • It really doesn’t matter. You are being assessed, NOT your students.

  • You can’t complete this assessment without a primary or secondary school English class to teach. You might be able to discuss this with your school.

  • Unfortunately, I see no way you can complete the assessment in this case.

  • Mr May has been helping people prepare for the LPR since 2003. He typically works with about 15 to 20 people each year.

    Incidentally, Mr May himself attended the LPAT exam in 2003 and achieved scores of ‘5’ in all parts of the assessment.
