About the placement test

The Oxford Quick Placement Test was applied as one of the tools to measure your English level and thus enhance your knowledge and language abilities in order to take you up to the next level.

The placement test was divided into 2 parts. The 1st part questions 1-40 and 2nd part questions 41-60. This is how you will be graded and the conversion onto the English Proficiency level according to the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference
