Oxford Placement Test – 30 minutes

The Oxford Placement Test is a free placement test provided by the Oxford University. It covers all the key grammar knowledge. However, the test will not be accurate for students attempting more than once.

Your level of grammatical knowledge of English may be too low for you to benefit from the English courses TWC offers. You will need to improve your English before taking any English courses. Please contact CAPLE for advice.

36 - 45

If you are a member of TWC and feel that you need to improve your writing skills in English, please register for the Language Enhancement Course (Level II) at CAPLE. If you need to improve your oral skills, please register for an English consultation session.

46 - 50

Your English is very good! You might not benefit from attending our courses unless you feel you really need to improve your English. If you are a member of TWC, you might still want to consider registering for an English consultation session
