We email your test link and access instructions within two working days of receiving payment. Our processing hours are Monday to Friday, 09:00–17:00 (CET/CEST), excluding Dutch public holidays.

How long does the test take?

Most people complete the test in approximately 40–60 minutes. The time limit for the test provided by The English Center is 70 minutes.

Choose a quiet time when you can complete the test without interruptions.

What does the test assess?

There are two sections:

  • Use of English: assesses grammar, vocabulary, and use of English.
  • Listening: assesses your understanding of spoken English.

Both sections are required. The test does not assess speaking or writing.

How does the adaptive test work?

The questions adjust in difficulty according to your answers. This helps the test identify your English level without requiring you to choose a fixed-level examination.

How is the test scored?

Your results include:

  • An overall CEFR level from Pre-A1 to C2.
  • An overall score on Oxford’s 120-point scale.
  • Separate results for Use of English and Listening.

Do I get my results immediately?

Yes. After completing the test, you can view your results in Oxford English Hub and download your statement of results as a PDF.

If you have requested a copy signed by The English Center, this is sent separately.

Can I take the test from home?

Yes. The test we offer is taken online without supervision, so you can complete it from home or another quiet location.

You need a reliable internet connection and a computer with working sound. Headphones are recommended for the listening section.

If you need the results for an institution, check beforehand whether it accepts an unsupervised test.

Can I take the test in several sessions?

No. Plan to complete the test in one sitting. Once you start, the timer runs, so make sure you have enough time to finish both sections.

Is this an official Oxford test?

Yes. We provide the Oxford Online Placement Test from Oxford University Press.

Please check the exact test name required by your institution before purchasing.

Do all universities accept this test?

No. Each institution sets its own admission requirements and decides which tests it accepts.

Before paying, ask whether it accepts the Oxford Online Placement Test, what score you need, and whether there are any supervision or documentation requirements.

Can I request signed results?

Yes. If you request a signed copy of your statement of results, The English Center will email it to you within two working days of completing the test.

We process signed results Monday to Friday, 09:00–17:00 (CET/CEST), excluding Dutch public holidays.

The signature is provided by The English Center.

What happens if I do not achieve the score I need?

You can purchase another test attempt. Each new attempt costs €40.

Is the test reliable?

Oxford’s computer-adaptive test is designed to assess English proficiency for placement purposes. Its questions adjust to your answers, and its results are linked to the CEFR.

Keep in mind that the result reflects the skills assessed: Use of English and Listening. It is not a separate assessment of your speaking or writing ability.
