The Oxford Online Placement Test (OOPT) allows you to test your English language skills. If you take an English course at In'to Languages, we first request that you take the OOPT so that we have an indication of your current level of English. Based on the outcome, we will advise you which level is best for you to enter.
Are you going abroad during your studies? In some cases, you may need proof of your language proficiency. If so, the OOPT might be enough. Always check first with your Faculty International Office what language test is recognised.
It is also possible to take the test if you are simply curious about your English language skills.
How does the OOPT work?
The Oxford Online Placement Test takes 40 to 60 minutes. Most test participants finish within 45 minutes. The test consists of fill-in-the-blank and multiple-choice questions to test your proficiency in listening, reading and grammar. The computer poses the questions and directly assesses whether the answers are right or wrong. During the test, the level of the questions is automatically adjusted to your level of knowledge, until a constant level is reached. The results of the OOPT are linked to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).
Which course matches which score?
- Score of 40 - 60: English for intermediate students (B1)
