The result you receive immediately after the test enables us to assign your language skills to a level according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and allows the Language Centre to place you in a group for the required course that is as homogeneous in terms of performance as possible.
You can print your OOPT test result by logging in to the OOPT website with your login details, which you have also used for the test. Access to your test results is possible for a maximum of 30 days after the test date.
The placement test is administered by the Language Centre as part of the orientation weeks in the individual departments. Please note that participation in this placement test is a prerequisite for assignment to a group and the English test is therefore compulsory!
