How does it work?
The exam is divided into three parts, each of which assesses different aspects of communication skills.
- Speaking and Writing
You'll be given a task like reading aloud, describing an image, retelling a lecture, answering short questions, summarizing a written text, or writing an essay. This last task has a time limit of 20 minutes. - Reading
You will be given different types of texts related to daily routine and academic activities. You will also have a second part focused on answering different kinds of questions and text compositions, including answering multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions, as well as reordering paragraphs. - Listening
You will hear conversations or monologues from different people with a variety of English accents, including American, Australian, British, and even non-native accents like Indian and Chinese. You will then answer questions based on what you heard in formats like multiple choice, fill in the blanks, and selecting missing or incorrect words.
