I was wondering if anyone has any information on English exams in Thailand. To put it more accurately, I would like to know if there is a national public examination that all students are required to take at the end of secondary school. I'm trying to think of a topic for my MA thesis and as I'm going to Thailand, I would love to collect some material there. I've been trying to search the web, but haven't found anything very useful yet.

Thanks a million for your help!

I've never heard of any National Exam in Thailand, not to say there isn't one.

As the others have mentioned above -

I don't think there's a 'standard national exam'

that measures English proficiency per se.

For serious details, you could

these 2 organizations directly:

http://www.cuas.or.th/ (CUAS :: Central University Admissions System)

http://www.ntthailand.com/ (NIETS :: National Institute of Education Testing Service)

Unfortunately, these 2 websites are in Thai, although you can find some contact info in English.

You could also try e-mailing the Thailand Ministry of Education:

Thanks for your views, I guess I was being a bit too optimistic hoping to find a standard exam...

National Institute of Education Testing Service seems extremely useful, I'll definitely have to contact them. I already tried writing to the Ministry of Education, but without much success. Thanks a lot for the links!

Any info is naturally still very welcome.
