The Oxford Placement Test for Young Learners has two sections – Language Use and Listening.Language Use tests students' knowledge of vocabulary, functions and grammar across 18 questions.The Listening section tests listening for detail and gist, using short and extended listening activities across 12 questions. Both sections test British English.

Bright colours, friendly characters and motivating dialogues make the test experience enjoyable.The central characters, Ace and Chirp, appear on every question to guide students through the test.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.

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.
