Course content

The Oxford Placement Test is a standardized language competence test linked to the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) that measures lexical, syntactic, text-linguistic and pragmatic competence in English. The degree program in English and American Studies (B.A. – 612) and the teacher training program “Englisch Lehramt” (B.Ed. – 407) both require the CEFR level B2+, which corresponds to a score of 75 points on the OPT. In both programs, it is recommended to take the OPT as soon as possible (at the beginning of the first semester if possible).

For B.A. students (612), the OPT is part of the STEOP and should be completed as quickly as possible (you should not complete more than 22 ECTS without having completed your STEOP). B.A. students can be accepted into English language courses (Sprachliches Grund- und Aufbaustudium Language) without the OPT, but their grades do not become valid in ZEUS until they have completed the OPT.

For “Lehramt” students (407), the OPT is a requirement without which they cannot be accepted into English language courses (see Module ENA, Placement Test ENA.001).

If you have taken the placement test at another university, your results will not show in ZEUS and you should inform your course instructors so that you can be accepted into courses.

You will have three attempts at taking the test. Your fourth and last attempt must be a “kommissionelle Wiederholungprüfung” (see https://www.aau.at/studium/studienorganisation/studienverlauf/pruefungen/#toggle-id-7).

Dates: Please see above for available dates this semester.

Registration: Please note that you have to register for the course “552.000 Placement Test” and sign up for one of the course dates offered this semester (you need to be accepted into the course first).

Procedure: The OPT is a standardized/computerized test which you will take on a laptop provided by E-learning. However, it is mandatory that you bring headphones (cable, not wireless!) to the exam for the listening comprehension component. The test consists of two parts: Use of English (British English) & Listening (American and British English). For more information, please consult the OPT website: https://elt.oup.com/feature/global/oxford-online-placement/?cc=de&selLanguage=en

Results: Your test results will be made available within two days via ZEUS.
