OOPT - Oxford Online Placement Test
What is OOPT? |
OOPT is a computer-based test that reports the candidate's scores on a continuous numerical scale. It is a reliable tool intended for placing students in language courses at the optimal level.
However, it is a test of communicative English and grammar. It is not a test of spoken, written or academic English. Detailed information on the test format can be found here.
Some institutions accept these test scores for their entrance requirements. However, you should check with your intended faculty or study programme first to find out whether they recognize the OOPT results.
OOPT numerical scale |
Level | Score Range | Course Level |
<A1 | 0 | Beginner |
A1 | 1-19 | Beginner |
A2 | 20-39 | Elementary |
B1.1 | 40-50 | Pre-Intermediate |
B1.2 | 51-59 | Intermediate |
B2 | 60-79 | Upper-Intermediate |
C1 | 80-99 | Advanced |
C2 | >100 | Proficiency |
Interpreting the OOPT test results
For examples, if a student scores 61 points, they will have reached a very low B2 leve. A score of 71, however, indicates that a student is comfortably at Level B2.
