How is the Oxford Test of English changing students' lives?

In their independent evaluation of the test, Ecctis reports that the adaptive nature of the Oxford Test of English ensures “a fair test of the candidate’s competency”. The Listening and Reading modules both use adaptive technology, meaning the questions adjust according to the test taker’s responses – resulting in a shorter test and more precise results.
