What it tests
The Oxford Placement Test is in two parts - Use of English and Listening. Students are tested on their knowledge of grammatical form and vocabulary in the Use of English section, as well as their listening skills in the Listening section. In addition, both sections test how well students understand the meaning of what is being communicated. Understanding meaning is fundamental to communication and is an excellent indicator of language ability.

The test is designed for students aged 16 years and above. The topics, situations, and associated grammar and vocabulary are age appropriate and suitable for teenage and adult learners.

Ideal for home use

How it works
The test is computer-adaptive, which means that it selects an easier or more difficult question depending on whether the previous answer was wrong or right. This makes the test shorter than a pen and paper test. Students will be asked between 40 and 45 questions, depending on their level. The test is timed and you can set the timer between 50 and 90 minutes to suit different students.

From the Learning Management System (LMS), you download and print or email the log in details to your students. The test is automatically marked as students answer each question, giving you an instant result when they have finished.
