How long does each student have to speak? 2 minutes

Part 2 (Long turn)
What’s in Part 2? The examiner gives the student a pair of photographs to talk about and they have to speak for 1 minute without interruption. The questions about the photographs are written at the top of the page to remind the student what they should talk about. When they have finished speaking, the student’s partner then has to answer a short question from the examiner about their photographs.

How long does each student have to speak? 1 minute per candidate, plus a 30-second response

Part 3 (Collaborative task)
What’s in Part 3? Conversation with the other candidate. The examiner gives the students a question and some written prompts. The students discuss these together for two minutes. The examiner will then ask them to make a decision together about the topic they have been discussing.

What do students have to practise? Exchanging ideas, expressing and justifying opinions, agreeing and/or disagreeing, suggesting, speculating, evaluating, reaching a decision through negotiation, etc.

How long does each student have to speak? A 2-minute discussion followed by a 1-minute decision-making task

Part 4 (Discussion)
What’s in Part 4? Further discussion with the other candidate, guided by questions from the examiner, about the same topic as the task in Part 3.

What do students have to practise? Expressing and justifying opinions, agreeing and/or disagreeing.

How long does each student have to speak? The discussion should last 4 minutes.

Cambridge English speaking tests take place with one or two other candidates, and two examiners. This makes your test more realistic and more reliable.

The way I see, both of them talk & understand English pretty well, but nervousness got in their way. It's completely understandable :)

It would be very useful to publish the reached qualifications regarding the test to give a better idea about the results of the exam. Not only the comments from the examinator that you can download currently in PDF from the description of this video. It's only a suggestion. Thanks a lot. All the best!

I really apreciate your work which helps teachers prepare students for FCE exam. But could you add a short comment whether students from your videos failed or passed Speaking test?

I've got 15 days until the test and this is really nice of Cambridge English to do, since it helps out the learners to actually see how other people do and, hopefully, be able to achieve the same, or possibly higher, level of success. Could you tell me if my grammar and vocabulary was solid enough to pass the exam? If so, I would like to thank you and also wish that you pass this exam like I possibly will. Also, you'll tell me about my spelling, won't you?
