The OI Digital Institute Spotlight assesses your English level on a 10-point scale. You are tested across four skill areas; grammar & vocabulary, reading and listening and issued a CEFR score from A1 to B2.
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 tracks 4-6 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 including being able to switch use
Capture screenshots
Implement the clipboard (copy/paste feature is disabled)
Implement spell checking or 3rd party grammar software
Activate multiple screen extensions
Candidates taking the OIDI Spotlight must do so using a PC or laptop with installed internet browser.
