Oxford ELLT at a glance
What you are actually booking.
Format and scoring
Two versions: ELLT Digital taken at home, and ELLT Global taken at an approved test centre. Pakistan has approved centres.
Graded 1–11, mapped to IELTS equivalents by each university.
Fast, typically within days.
Fee and acceptance
Confirm at booking, Oxford International runs periodic partner discounts, and your counsellor will tell you if one applies.
No. University acceptance only, though it is accepted very widely by UK universities.
A Skill Retake option now exists, so one weak section need not mean retaking everything.
Fees checked August 2026 and quoted as a planning guide. Confirm the current price on the official booking page, and confirm with your counsellor which version your university and visa route accept.
Inside the test
What Oxford ELLT actually asks you to do.
Knowing the task types is most of the preparation. These are the ones that decide scores, and the ones our classes drill hardest.
Reading and listening are adaptive and computer-marked, so the difficulty tracks your performance.
Speaking is recorded rather than live, with preparation time before each response.
Writing is a single extended task assessed on task fulfilment, organisation and range.
Results are graded 1 to 11 and each university publishes its own IELTS equivalence, so check the specific mapping.
