| Listening (30 minutes, including 6 minutes’ transfer time) | 4 parts/ 25 questions | 25% | You have to be able to follow and understand a range of spoken materials including announcements and discussions about everyday life. |
| Speaking (12–17 minutes per pair of candidates) | 4 parts | 25% | Shows how good your spoken English is as you take part in conversation by asking/answering questions and talking, for example, about your likes and dislikes. Your Speaking test will be conducted face to face with one or two other candidates and two examiners. This makes your test more realistic and more reliable. |
