– Emilio Cecchi
first time at normal reading speed (about 110 words a minute) and

during the readings. They then answer an objective type test
based on the passage, on the paper provided.
The recommended number of candidates at a sitting is 30.

two minutes, which will be followed by a discussion on the subject
with the examiners, for about three minutes.

something, expressing an opinion, giving a report, relating an
anecdote or commenting on a current event.

of their subject for presentation and that they be given a choice of
subject, on a common paper.

The assessment will be conducted jointly by the subject teacher
and the external examiner who will each assess the candidate.
(The External Examiner may be a teacher nominated by the Head
of the School who could be from the faculty but not teaching the
subject in the section / class. For example, a teacher of English
