    At the end of the Listening test you have six minutes to transfer your answers to the
    answer sheet.

     Paper 3 Speaking
    Time: 1012 minutes per pair of candidates
    In the Speaking test, there are two oral examiners and you take the test in a pair with
    another candidate. At centres with an uneven number of candidates, the last pair will be
    examined in a group of three. The Speaking test is worth 25% of the total marks.

    Part 1
    The first part of the test is a general conversation. One of the examiners will talk to each
    of you in turn and will ask you for personal details, about your daily routines, likes and
    dislikes, etc. The examiner will ask you at some point to spell all or part of your name.

    Part 2
    In Part 2 you have to take part in a simulated situation with the other candidate. For
    example, you may have to make and respond to suggestions, discuss alternatives, make
    recommendations and negotiate agreement with your partner.
    To help you with this part of the test, the examiner will give you a prompt sheet like the
    one below and give you some instructions. In this case, the examiner will tell you that a
    friend of yours is planning to spend six months in England to improve her English. You

    have to talk together about the things she will need in England and discuss which are
    the most important things she should bring with her.

    Part 3
    For Part 3 the examiner will give you a colour photograph like the one below. You have to
    describe what you can see in the photograph. The examiner then gives your partner a
    different colour photograph to describe.

    Part 4
    In this last part of the test, you have to talk with your partner. The examiner will give
    you a subject which is related to the two photographs you described in Part 3. In this
    case, the subject is reading and writing. The examiner asks you to talk about the kinds of
    reading and writing you did when you were younger and what kinds of reading and
    writing you do now.
