        This research aimed at comparing the results gained in the two tests. The statistical population was 300 applicants taking part in MSRT. Only 75 had taken part in both tests and 60 of them agreed to share their test results with the researchers. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics as well as inferential statistics. Results indicated a relatively high positive correlation between the total scores of both test (r = 0.71). Since no reports of test parts were available, it was impossible to compare the parts from the two exams. In addition, due to the omission of listening part in ETPNU test, this comparison was also not possible. As a result, the researchers decide to compare the listening section of MSRT with the ETPNU score (r = 0.38). Later, the other two sections of MSRT test were also compared with the ETPNU score (grammar, r = 0.33; reading comprehension, r = 0.53). Manuscript profile
