Useful tips for test takers:
- At the start of the test, the Invigilator will be with you to check and set up the test: testing the connection, checking the headphones and sound levels, verifying your ID with the examiner and ensuring that you are comfortable to start the test.
- You will need to read the part 2 questions on the screen, so bring your glasses if you use them.
- Tell the examiner if you cannot hear what they are saying at any point, so that they can repeat themselves.
- Ring the bell on the table at any time, if you need help from the Invigilator.
- When the test has finished, the invigilator will come and collect you from the test room.
