The Oxford Test of English is a computer-based test. It consists of four modules: Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing. You can take the whole test (all four modules), a single module, or any combination of the four modules. The test uses a bank of questions for each module so that during one test session, each test taker gets a different version of the test. The Listening and Reading modules are adaptive, which means that the questions get more difficult or easier depending on whether you answer them correctly or not. This allows the computer to accurately assess your level of English. The Speaking and Writing modules are marked by trained English language assessors. The Oxford Test of English was shortlisted for ‘best in summative assessment’ at the 2020 e-Assessment Awards, which highlight and celebrate “the outstanding and positive contributions that technology makes to all forms of assessment”.
