PREPARATION IN ADVANCE OF THE SPEAKING TESTS

• Centres must ensure well in advance of the tests that a suitably quiet room is available, and that
recording equipment is in good order.

• Centres receive a set of Speaking Assessment cards with this set of Teacher’s/Examiner’s Notes.
These cards must not be opened until one working day before the test. Both the cards and the
notes must remain confidential and must be kept in a secure place by the centre until the end of
the examination period.

ON THE DAY OF THE SPEAKING TESTS

• All tests must be recorded in full throughout. The recording must not be paused or stopped at any
point during the test.

• The Speaking test must be conducted in English throughout.

• The Speaking tests must take place in a suitable examination room under exam conditions.
Adequate supervision must be provided to ensure that candidates leaving the examination room
do not communicate with those waiting to enter.

• No other person should be present during the Speaking test, with the exception of another teacher/
examiner, moderator or representative of Cambridge International.

• The examiner, and not the candidate, selects one of the Speaking Assessment cards before the
candidate enters the examination room.

• Candidates cannot bring any notes into the examination room. They are not allowed to consult
dictionaries or make any written notes.

• Candidates are allowed to ask for clarification if necessary at any point during the test.

• The examiner should be positioned so that he or she is facing the candidate with a table or desk in
between. The examiner must not allow candidates to see notes made by the examiner.

RECORDING THE TESTS

Before the start of the Speaking test session, centres must make sure their recording equipment is
in good working order by testing the equipment in the room where the Speaking tests will take place.
Check audibility levels to avoid adjusting the volume during the Speaking test and ensure there is
no extraneous noise in the examination room. Checks for audibility should continue throughout the
Speaking test session.

Once the Speaking test has begun, the recording must run without interruption. Each recording should
begin with a clear statement by the examiner as follows:

Examiner name: [e.g.] Ms Z Abced

Candidate number: [e.g.] 0021
Candidate name: [e.g.] Abdi Zachariah
Date: [e.g.] 1 October 2024.

At the end of the recording the examiner should state clearly ‘end of recording’.

Before the recordings are submitted, spot checks must be made to ensure that every candidate is
clearly audible. Each track should be renamed, giving the candidate number and name, rather than
‘track 1’, ‘track 2’, etc. A separate audio track is required for each candidate.

Additional instructions on conducting Part 2 of the test

If the candidate has not started speaking after approximately 15 seconds, prompt the candidate by
reading the following script:

Examiner script: Are you ready to start talking about the points on the card?

If the candidate has still not responded after another 5 seconds, prompt the candidate again by
reading the following:

Examiner script: Would you like to tell me about the options on the card?

If the candidate still does not start, move on to Part 3 of the test by saying the following:

Examiner script: Thank you. Can I have the card back, please? Now let’s move on to Part 3 of the
test.

If the candidate has started speaking but then appears to be unable to continue, ask the following
before moving on to Part 3 of the test:

Examiner script: Is there anything else you would like to say? Thank you. Can I have the card back,
please? Now let’s move on to Part 3 of the test.

Additional instructions on conducting Part 1 and Part 3 of the test

To elicit further discussion before moving on to another question, use any of the following:

Examiner script:
• Can you tell me more about …?
• Can you tell me why …?
• Can you explain what you mean …?
• Can you give me any examples of …?

If the candidate has very little to say in response to a question after being prompted, move on to the
next one.

General advice

1 To conduct Speaking tests effectively:

• try to put candidates at their ease from the beginning (smiling as they enter the room,
indicating where they should sit) while maintaining a clear sense that the Speaking test is
being conducted in a formal examination situation
• be sensitive to candidates’ circumstances when selecting the card. If you become aware
during the warm-up that a topic may be inappropriate for the candidate in question, consider
selecting another card
• show interest in candidates’ responses
• encourage candidates to develop their responses by using additional questions.

© UCLES 2024 0510/32/TN/O/N/24

 7

Please avoid:
• distracting candidates
• interrupting with your own views or correcting mistakes
• showing impatience or too much surprise
• giving the impression that there are ‘right’ answers to questions or that the test is a test of
knowledge
• indicating how well the candidate has performed by using phrases such as ‘well done’ or ‘that
was very good’.

2 Please consider the following when marking:

Be objective. Do not allow any knowledge of a candidate’s personality and attributes to influence
objective assessment. For example, knowledge that a candidate is very conscientious should not
be taken into account when assessing his or her Speaking test. If the candidate’s performance
is affected because he or she faces difficult circumstances or personal problems at the time of
the test, this should be dealt with by an exams officer via special considerations procedures.
Examiners must not make any separate allowance themselves.

Be positive. Marking the test should be seen as giving credit for what candidates can do, not
penalising them for what they cannot do. This does not mean that matters of inaccuracy in, for
example, grammar and pronunciation are to be overlooked, but is a reminder that a Speaking test
is intended to credit positive achievement. Remember that it is not necessary for a candidate to be
of first language speaker standard to be given maximum marks within any single category.

Be consistent. It is important that the marking criteria are applied in the same way for all the
candidates at the centre so that a reliable rank order for the centre is obtained.

AFTER COMPLETING ALL THE SPEAKING TESTS AT THE CENTRE

• If using more than one examiner, internal moderation must be carried out by the centre so that a
common standard is applied to all candidates. Further guidance on carrying out internal moderation
at the centre is available in the Cambridge Handbook and on the Cambridge International website.

• Refer to the Cambridge Handbook for detailed instructions on submitting marks and recordings.
You should keep a copy of each Speaking test. If any of the recordings submitted to Cambridge
International is inaudible or faulty in any way, you may be asked to provide a replacement.
