Exam Content
| PARTS | CONTENT |
|---|---|
| Part One | In this section the candidates hear spoken information, for example a sales presentation, containing numbers, figures and/or statistics. They hear the information twice. On the question paper they are given a graph or table onto which they must plot the information they hear. This task tests their ability to understand the raw material in spoken form and convert it into an acceptable graphic representation. |
| Part two | This second listening section of the paper takes a different form. In this section, the candidates hear a speaker giving a talk or presentation at, for example, a meeting or conference. The candidates have the text of the talk in front of them, with some information missing. As the first part of their task, the candidates must complete the missing information in the text. As the second part of their task, the candidates must provide a short summary, about 50 words, of part of the talk, typically the end, or concluding remarks. This section thus tests both detailed understanding and broad understanding of the spoken input. |
| Part Three | In this section, the candidates are given written information on a business topic. Any business topic may be used, from taxation to marketing, from health and safety issues to the latest management theory, from product specifications to problems of late payment. The candidates must provide a report based on the texts given, of about 200 words. The rubric of this section indicates who the target readers are, and therefore how the candidates should structure their report. |
| Part Four | This section, which complements section three, also requires the candidates to write a written report of up to 200 words, but this time based on given sets of facts and figures. The rubric of this section indicates to the candidates the way in which their reports must be structured, for example to support a particular argument or make a particular case. These two sections together give the candidate the opportunity to show that they are in control of the language of business and can manipulate it for specific purposes. |
| Part Five | This section tests the candidates' reading skills. The candidates read an introductory text and then a number of related articles to which they must then match suitable titles. This involves applying global reading skills to the texts. The texts may be on any business-related topic, for example newspaper articles on the funding of different projects or texts from a brochure describing different travel services |
| Part Six | In this final section of the top level examination, candidates are asked to complete a gap-fill test on a business-related topic. There are six gaps in a given text which the candidates must fill. The gap-fill is open, rather than multiple choice. This tests the candidates' understanding of the overall meaning of the text, and their understanding of its discourse and grammatical structure, together with their ability to find the correct vocabulary for the specific gaps. |
