Speaking (10–12 minutes – 25% of total marks) The Speaking paper has four parts and is conducted face-to-face, with one or two other candidates and two examiners. Candidates are expected to demonstrate conversation skills by answering and asking questions and talking freely about their likes and dislikes. Part 1 is a general conversation with the examiner. Candidates give personal information about themselves, e.g. talk about their daily life, studies, plans for the future, etc. Part 2 is a collaborative task with the other candidate(s). The examiner gives the candidates some pictures and describes a situation. The candidates discuss the issues and decide what would be best in the situation. Part 3 is completed individually. Each candidate has one minute to describe a photograph provided by the examiner. Part 4 is a discussion with the other candidate(s). The candidates discuss the topic related to the photographs they were given in Part 3 of the exam, talking about their opinions. Scoring In February 2016, Cambridge English Scale scores replaced the candidate profile and standardised scores used for pre-2016 results. All candidates (pre- and post-2016) receive a Statement of Results, with those scoring high enough also receiving a certificate. Scoring from February 2016 From 2016, the Statement of Results and the Certificate have the following information about the candidate’s performance: A score on the Cambridge English Scale for each skill (Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking) A score on the Cambridge English Scale for the overall exam A grade (Pass with Distinction, Pass with Merit and Pass) for the overall exam A CEFR level for the overall exam. The candidate’s overall score is averaged from the individual scores for each paper (Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking). B1 Preliminary is targeted at CEFR Level B1, but also provides reliable assessment at the level above B1 (Level B2) and the level below (Level A2). The following scores are used to report results: The following scores are used to report results: Scores between 102 and 119 are also reported on the Statement of Results but candidates will not receive the Preliminary English Test certificate.
