What are the parts of the exam?
The exam covers four skills: listening, reading, writing and speaking.
Listening has 39 questions in 35 minutes. Reading also has 39 questions, in 60 minutes.
Writing asks for three tasks in 60 minutes. Speaking has three tasks and takes about 12 minutes.
What does the result look like?
You receive a separate score for each skill. Each score maps to a level on the CEFR scale. A program then turns that result into its own scale.
Always use the conversion table that the program publishes.
