In contrast to other tests, you can take these two exams in any sequence you wish. You have the option to schedule the tests individually, but you must take them both within 14 days. The exam can be scheduled online up to 24 hours before the date you want to take it, and results will be available to you within five working days. The LanguageCert ESOL test can be taken at a center or at home (online).
It will take about 2 hours and 10 minutes to finish both the reading and writing components. This will be one continuous session with no breaks in between the portions. But, you can choose which task to accomplish first (either reading or writing).
The reading also comprises four sections and a total of 26 questions, much like the listening. There are three different sorts of questions in reading: multiple choice, multiple matching and gap filling. There are two sections for writing. A formal writing assignment of between 70 and 100 words is required of the candidate in the first section, and an informal assignment of between 100 and 120 words is required in the second.
The speaking portion consists of 4 one-on-one sessions. The examiner will inquire for personal details and broad questions about familiar subjects in the first part. The second section will be a role-playing scenario based on commonplace subjects.
You must engage in an interactive information and opinion-sharing process for part three. The last component involves giving a one and a half minute monologue on the assigned subject. The entire speaking test will last approximately 12 minutes.
