Component 1: Speaking Test

20 minutes - Presentation max 3 ½ minutes

There is no question paper for the Speaking Test.

Component 2: Reading and Writing

1 hour 45

Two passages in French are set which deal with related themes. Candidates answer specific and general comprehension questions on the two passages, and respond to a task requiring a summary or comparison of issues raised. French will be used for all questions and answers.

Component 3: Essay

A list of five topics. The list changes every year. A question will be set on each of the five topics; candidates choose one question and write an essay in French.
