AMIRNET prep
Your route tothe exemption level.
Start with a free diagnostic: within a few minutes you know where you stand and how far you are from 134. The full preparation track is still in development.
What changes in December 2026
This is not a small adjustment, and it is worth understanding before you book a test.
English leaves the psychometric
From the December 2026 sitting the psychometric covers two domains only, verbal and quantitative, still scored 200 to 800.
AMIRNET becomes the exam that counts
English is assessed in a separate exam. You can sit it before or after the psychometric, year round.
Each institution decides how to use the score
From the 2027 to 2028 academic year, each institution decides whether the score counts toward admission or is used only to place you in an English level.
The score and the levels
AMIRNET reports on a 50 to 150 scale. Every band is English courses you will or will not have to take.
| Score | Level | What you must then take |
|---|---|---|
| 50-69 | Pre-basic A | 5 English courses |
| 70-84 | Pre-basic B | 4 English courses |
| 85-99 | Basic | 3 English courses |
| 100-119 | Advanced A | 2 English courses |
| 120-133 | Advanced B | 1 English course plus a content course |
| 134-150 | Exemption | No English courses, two content courses |
Moving from 120 to 134 saves you a whole course. That is what this track aims at. The scale and the levels come from the national testing centre, but what each institution requires for admission or an exemption is set by that institution.
How the track works
Start with a short assessment
It finds your level and the distance to an exemption, so you can see exactly how much is missing.
Practise where you are weakest
Practice concentrates on your weaker skills: sentence completion, restatement, reading, listening and writing.
Sit a mock in the real format
So the real exam is not the first time you have seen how it is put together.
What the exam looks like
The mocks follow the real structure, because half the pressure on the day is simply not knowing it.
- Six sections count towards your score: 23 questions across 39 minutes in total.
- After those comes either two short experimental sections or a single 12 minute writing task.
- The clock runs per section, and time you do not use does not carry forward. That is the most useful pacing fact there is.
- Question types: sentence completion, restatement and reading comprehension.
- A correct answer in an experimental section can add up to two points. A wrong one takes nothing away.
- It adapts between sections rather than after every question.
- There is a 35 day wait between two attempts.
- It is sat at a test centre, not at home.
Listening and writing are entering the picture
Since March 2025 AMIRNET has carried experimental listening, morphology and writing sections, and those are core to the exam that will replace it. Reading practice alone is no longer enough, which suits you here: Milulu is built around listening and speaking.
What we do not promise
The score a mock shows you is an estimate, not an official prediction. It exists to show you where you stand and how far you have to go, not to stand in for the exam. We also do not promise you a score. We promise practice aimed at the right place.

Questions about this track
What is AMIRNET?
An English exam from the National Institute for Testing and Evaluation that decides which English level you are placed into at university. It replaced AMIRAM.
What score earns an exemption?
The exemption level starts at 134 on the 50 to 150 scale. Below it you will need between one and five English courses. Worth knowing: the scale and the levels come from the national testing centre, but each institution decides what it requires, so check with the one you are aiming for.
Should I wait for December 2026?
Not necessarily. Existing scores stay valid for years and you can sit AMIRNET now. The December 2026 change is to the psychometric structure, not to the validity of your score.
Even native speakers fail this. Is it for them?
Yes, and that is precisely why the track exists. The exam tests format as much as it tests English. If your English is already strong the assessment will see that, and practice will focus on the question types and on managing the clock.
How long does it take?
It depends on the gap between your level and an exemption. The assessment shows you that gap up front, and we will not sell you a promise nobody can keep.
Want to know how far you have to go?
The diagnostic is free, takes a few minutes, and tells you exactly how far you have to go.
