Oxford Test Practice
4 parts
Speaking
Interview, voicemail, presentation and discussion. You hear the tone, the microphone opens and the clock starts: 10 seconds for each of the first two interview questions and 20 seconds for the rest.
Oxford Test of English
Four modules and 14 parts, with the same timings, order and one-way flow as the real exam. Every answer is marked against the official criteria and reported on the 51–140 Oxford scale.
No card needed. Try a question from every module.
Four modules
Each part follows its own rules: the number of questions, the recording time, how many times the audio plays and how long you have to answer.
Interview, voicemail, presentation and discussion. You hear the tone, the microphone opens and the clock starts: 10 seconds for each of the first two interview questions and 20 seconds for the rest.
Picture choice, note completion, opinion matching and multiple-choice questions. Every recording plays exactly twice, then the screen moves on, just as it does in the exam.
Short messages, matching people to texts, gap-fill and one long text. Answers are checked against the key, with an explanation written for each question.
An email and a longer piece of writing. A live word counter shows the required range as you type; task, organisation, grammar and vocabulary are all assessed.
How marking works
More than a simple percentage. Objective answers are scored according to question difficulty; speaking and writing answers are assessed criterion by criterion. You see every band that makes up your total.
Speaking and Listening move in one direction only. Once a question has passed you cannot go back, and any question you skip counts as unanswered, just as in the real exam.
Your speech is turned into text so you can see exactly what the marking is based on. A silent recording counts as unanswered and scores zero.
Task fulfilment, fluency and coherence, grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation are scored separately, and each criterion carries the weight it has in the exam.
Reading and Listening scores come from an ability estimate that takes question difficulty into account, so 10 easy questions and 10 hard ones do not give the same result.
Each module is reported separately, so a strong Reading score and a weaker Speaking score don't get lost in a single average. C1 is outside the scope of this test and is measured by the Oxford Test of English Advanced.
About the exam
An internationally recognised, computer-based English proficiency test developed by Oxford University Press.
Speaking takes about 15 minutes, Listening 30, Reading 35 and Writing 45. You can take the modules separately.
Each module is assessed separately, so you can see clearly where you are strong and where there is room to improve. C1 is a different test.
Listening and Reading results are released on the same day, Speaking and Writing within a few working days. Here, your practice results are ready without leaving the page.
Students who need an English certificate for a university application or exemption, professionals who have to present a certificate, and anyone who wants to measure their level.
