About the
test
What it tests
The Oxford Placement Test for Young Learners
has two sections – Language Use and Listening.
Language Use tests students’ knowledge of
vocabulary, functions and grammar. The questions
focus on language use rather than language
knowledge, reflecting the communicative language
young learners experience in class.
The Listening section tests listening for detail and
gist, using short and extended listening tasks.
Both sections test British English.
How it works
The Oxford Placement Test for Young Learners
is computer adaptive, which means that the test
adjusts the difficulty of questions based on the
student’s responses. This makes it more motivating
and ensures that it gives a more precise
measurement than traditional placement tests.
Answers are automatically marked after each task,
giving you an instant result once the test is complete.
You can choose how long students have to complete
the test (between 50 and 90 minutes), depending on
their ability.
Child friendly
Bright colours, friendly characters and motivating
dialogues make the test experience enjoyable.
The task types are specifically designed to match the
cognitive abilities of young learners and reflect tasks
that they are used to in Primary courses.
