Oxford Test of English for Academic Year Students
The Oxford Test of English is the included final examination for the current Non-EU Academic Year programme at ISI Dublin.
Why is there a final exam?
An Academic Year course is a structured long-term English programme. A recognised external examination gives the programme an academic endpoint and allows students to demonstrate their English level through an established assessment.
Is the exam included in the package?
Yes. The current First Academic Year package includes the Oxford Test of English fee as part of the published package total.
Do I choose the exam when I book?
The current standard final examination for the Non-EU Academic Year programme is the Oxford Test of English. Academic arrangements and exam preparation are explained by the Academic team during the programme.
What does the exam assess?
The Oxford Test of English assesses core English-language skills. Your teachers and Academic team will explain the relevant preparation and exam process during your studies.
Can ISI guarantee my final level?
No. Your final English level depends on your starting point, attendance, classroom participation, study habits and individual progress.
The school can provide a structured programme and academic support, but it cannot promise that every student will move through the same number of CEFR levels.
When will I receive exam information?
You do not need to organise the exam independently before arrival. The Academic team provides the relevant information during your course.
How does this fit into the overall package?
The final examination sits alongside 25 weeks of tuition, course materials, Medical Insurance and Learner Protection in the current First Academic Year package.
