Course Overview

The Oxford International Digital Institute Spotlight is a fully online adaptive English language level exam that tests across a range from A1 – B2 (CEFR). Developed and delivered by Oxford International Digital Institute, thousands of test takers get certified annually.

You work through six specifically designed sections, known as Tracks, with each track either becoming easier, maintaining level, or increasing in difficulty depending on your performance in the previous track. Your level is determined during tracks 1-3 with 5 tracks confirming their specific English language ability. The user is then issued with a CEFR score based on their overall performance.

The Spotlight test is conducted through a Secure Exam Browser (SEB*), an internet browser plugin that is a mandatory installation before their test. Through the SEB you can not:

  • Access other web-based applications
  • Reload or switch between web pages
  • Use shortcuts or hotkeys
  • Capture screenshots
  • Implement the clipboard (copy/paste feature is disabled)
  • Implement spell checking or 3rd party grammar software
  • Activate multiple screen extensions
The SEB is used in conjunction with standard proctoring features including video environment capture. Highly trained human proctors, with examining expertise view and report on any events that are captured through the SEB. Candidates will be contacted directly depending on the outcome.

There are no specific entry requirements for the test. OIDI Spotlight can be taken by anyone who intends to check their English proficiency level as long as they meet the specified technology requirements.

Candidates taking the OIDI Spotlight must do so using a PC or laptop with installed internet browser.
