How can centres ensure that Speaking and Listening test sessions don overrun?
Detailed guidance on timetabling can be found in the Skills for Life Centre Guidelines 2005 on CentreNet (requires CentreNet login). In order to keep a session to time it is important that the flow of candidates and their allocation to test rooms is smooth and there are no delays between tests. It is also vital that the interlocutors ensure the test itself is kept to time. Tips and advice on how to do this are included in the interlocutor training materials, and timings are shown clearly on test materials. It is essential that tests are of a standard length so that all candidates have the same opportunity and same test experience.
