The English Language Proficiency Test (ELPT) is offered by the College Board as an SAT II subject test. It is a 1-hr multiple choice test, designed to evaluate the understanding of spoken and written standard American English and use it in the classroom and daily interactions. A student whose native language was not English could have chosen to take this test instead of or in addition to TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) for college entrance depending upon requirements of the schools in which the student was planning to apply.

A lot of colleges use the ELPT to help them place entering students in appropriate English and developmental classes. The target testing group comprises students who attend U.S. high schools, whose best language is not English, and who have finished two to four years of English language instruction in English as a Second Language program or students who have studied in an international school where courses are taught in English.
