The Oxford English Language Level Test (ELLT) and the Oxford Test of English Advanced are recognised English proficiency tests accepted by a growing number of UK universities, including the University of York, for degree admissions. At Study Icon, we guide students through choosing, preparing, and submitting ELLT scores effectively.

We check if your intended UK university accepts Oxford ELLT as part of their language eligibility and confirm whether a UKVI-approved test is still required for visa purposes.
If ELLT is acceptable for entry, we advise you to take both ELLT (for admission) and a SELT (for visa), ensuring a smooth dual-route preparation.
Guidance on finding approved Oxford ELLT centres, understanding score reporting, and timing test dates alongside application deadlines.
We make sure your ELLT results and required visa-approved SELT scores are correctly documented in your application and CAS records.
