With the Oxford Test of English, you will be able to certify your language level (A2, B1, B2 or C1) with a single multilevel examination. Therefore, if you will not pass or fail it, but you will obtain a proof of your own level in each skill (Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing).

How can I do it?
We offer several dates for the 2 examinations every year for the full exam or a module exam. You can retake the exam (full or one module) up to a maximum of 2 times in 8 weeks, but never more than 4 times a year. Oxford will keep your highest grades for the certificate.
VERY IMPORTANT: In order to obtain accreditation at the University of Alicante, it is essential to have completed the exam modules, as well as any retakes of said modules, within the same academic year. The certificate always retains the highest grade obtained and indicates the date on which each grade was achieved.
Once registered for the Oxford Test, no reimbursement will be made. If you are not able to attend the exam, your vacancy will only be kept for one of the two following exams dates, only if you present a document certifying the cause in the 15 days before the registration dates.
