What Is Involved in the Exams?

The examiner guides a conversation to allow the student to demonstrate their competence in using the language appropriate to the grade of the exam. At each level the student carries out a number of realistic speaking and listening tasks that demonstrate their fluency and accuracy in spoken English. The GESE syllabus clearly sets out what students need to do at each level.
