NB

This is n is is n is is not a co a compulsory word-for-word script but a st a strong recom

mendation for how
the test s t should be conducted. Circumstances will mean that the words sh s should
be
slightly changed to get the t the best f t from the candidate. As an assessor you have
the
right to do this. Conversations o s often do not run exactly as p as planned and some
flexibility is allo s allowed to keep the test as st as stress-free an ee and natural as al
as possible. The
Anglia E lia Examinations moderators will t ill take a e account of t f this when m n monito
ring the
recording.

However, remember to k o keep all meta-language simp e simple. Name t ame the candi
date
frequently. Do not be tempted to chat or add extra i a information about yourself, f
or
example. This co is confuses t s the can e candidate an e and takes valu es valuable t le t
esting time.
