How do I give my students an online practice test?

When you buy online practice tests for your students to do, you get automatic access to the oxfordenglishtesting.com learning management system where you assign the test, or a paper or part of it, to your students. They are automatically notified by email that they have an assignment. You can then track how your students are progressing with their assignment(s) and see their marks in the online markbook. Find out more about using the learning management system.

How do my students take an online practice test?

Students log in to www.oxfordenglishtesting.com. They will be able to see if you have set them an assignment and how long you have given them to complete it. They simply click on a link to open the assignment and start working on the test immediately. When they have finished the practice test assignment, they submit it for automatic marking. They will be able to see their results if you have allowed them to.

What learning support do my students get when they do an online practice test?

You can set practice test assignments in Test mode as a test/mock exam (with no learning support) OR in Practice mode so that your students can:

• mark individual questions and try again if they got it wrong

• get feedback on their answers

• use the integrated online dictionary, test tips, audio scripts, lists of useful language.
