About OPIc Test
The Oral Proficiency Interview-computer (OPIc) is a valid and reliable means of assessing how well a person speaks a language. Before beginning the OPIc, test takers complete a Background Survey and a Self Assessment. They also receive a full overview and explanation of OPIc procedures, including a sample test question in the test taker’s native language.
