The Oxford ELLT is designed to test candidates on the 4 core language skills – Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking. Candidates start with either the reading or listening tests, before moving onto the writing and finishing with the speaking test. The Oxford ELLT Examiner who meets with the candidate in the speaking test will have also marked their written test. Due to the modularised structure of the test, candidates can decide how quickly they progress through the different components, giving them time to prepare in between. All components must be completed within 30 days.
