For organizational purposes and to ease the search task for all the colleagues, the forum administrators moved your two papers into separate threads within the same section. Just check the following links, madam:

It all depends on the level and quality of students they had. After all, it's a diagnostic test to revise and check. I used to teach first year eleven years ago. Now , I know a little of their syllabus as I had been cut off from that level teaching. cant_ov

A diagnostic test is supposed to be a one session set of various activities (we have the BEM exam paper as a sample) individually administered to the new students generally at the second session.It help us know about their weaknesses and strengths to measure their level.

As far as the syllabus is concerned,I think most of the grammar language points to be tackled are the same as 4AM syllabus.Yet there's often too much work to do with students who have just been back to school after the longest holidays ever and some of them forget even how to write the date and their names!

I hope,my feedback would be helpful to the neophyte teachers,out there whom we wish a happy teaching journey!

Any other addition or correction is highly welcome.
