• The examination will present an occasion for interacting with the candidate through conversation. The examiner will provide lead questions on varied topics for conversation or dialogue. The questions are meant to provoke candidates to talk, but if a candidate appears not to be well informed about a particular topic, the examiner must switch to another topic since the purpose of the examination is not only to test knowledge but also for articulation, pronunciation, logical sequence and fluency in the candidate.

Each candidate will be given 5 – 10 minutes to demonstrate his/her competence in spoken English. The test will carry 40 marks.
