Sample test

Part 1-style questions

Examiner: Are you studying English at a school?
Candidate: Yes … I’m taking an intensive course at a local private language school … I attend classes three times a week …

Examiner: Would you say you are a good student?
Candidate: I’m OK I think … I’m pretty good at meeting deadlines and I’m keeping up with my studies… plus I find it quite easy to learn things by heart which is useful when learning a language …

Examiner: When you were younger did you enjoy your time at school?

Candidate: Yes … I liked school … it was an ordinary state school … nothing special … a single-sex school … which I’m not sure I liked … but the teachers were great … I had lots of friends and I never played truant like some pupils there.

Part 2- style task

Describe a time during your education that you really enjoyed. You should say:

when this period was
where you were
what you were studying at the time

and say why you were so happy.

Candidate: I’d like to tell you about my time at university … I was a mature student … I didn’t go to university until I was 25 … and it was my first time away from my parents so it was very exciting … I was doing a Bachelor’s Degree and it was a bit of a challenge … some people take a year out, but I’d been away from education for 8 years. In addition, I had to work my way through university; therefore, I was very busy. and sitting exams at the end of each year was a new experience for me as well. However, I really enjoyed higher education learning about a subject I loved … history … and the social life was great as well … I don’t think I’ve ever had so many friends … I had my graduation ceremony last year in the local cathedral and I know my parents were really proud … so yes … that was a really happy time … I’m thinking of doing a Master’s Degree soon … though that might be through distance learning as I have a full-time job now …

Part 3-style questions

Examiner: What qualities do you think a good teacher has?
Candidate: They should be patient … they should be subject specialists and be able to explain the subject clearly … they should give feedback quickly … for example, not hang on to essay for ages like some of my teachers …

Examiner: What are the advantages of studying on a distance learning course?
Candidate: It’s a more flexible way of studying especially if you have a job … tuition fees are usually cheaper … but you have to be very motivated … and I would imagine more people fall behind with their studies compared to face-to-face classes …

Examiner: Do all children get equal opportunities in education?
Candidate: In my country I think it is quite equal but in the UK I’ve heard that most people who go to the top universities have studied at public schools … you have to be very rich to study in a school like that … they’re usually boarding schools as well so the fees are enormous …
