Therefore, the FLES Contest will take place February 11-25 and all answer sheets must be sent by the teacher to arrive at the scoring center by March 2, 2018. Within 7-10 days, a list of students who are eligible to participate in the speaking portion of the Contest will be forwarded to the teacher who will have until March 26th to send recordings of students to Elizabeth Esper. Recordings received after March 26, 2018 will not be evaluated. Ranking Winners Concours participants, regardless of division (A-E), take an identical test at level. However, the results of their performance are ranked separately. Award rank in Divisions B, C, and D is restricted to those students who score higher respectively than Division A contestants at the same rank. For example: top score in level 1A is 80 (rank 1); if the top score in level 1B is 79, the 1B rank would be 2, even though it’s the highest score in the level/division.
