How long will the test take?

The test will ask you about 40-45 questions, which should take about 45 minutes to an hour. 

However, it all depends on you. The computerized adaptive testing adapts to the examinee's ability level. There isn’t a set number of questions, and the questions won’t always be the same. For example, if you perform well on an item of intermediate difficulty, they will then be presented with a more difficult question. Or, if you performed not so well, you would be presented with a simpler question.

For the OOPT test, please make sure that you click “submit” at the last step to complete your test within the one-hour time limit. Otherwise, you won't get a score as the exam didn't finish in time.
