What are the guidelines for the selection of dummy candidates?
There is no group test format so a non-assessed dummy candidate should be on stand-by for the last test at each level. Guidelines for the selection of non-assessed dummy candidates, in order of preference: • A) someone at the appropriate level for the test who is not taking an SfL S/L test, or • B) a candidate who has already taken an SfL S/L test at the next level up, or • C) a candidate who has already taken the SfL S/L test at the same level. In options B) and C) above the candidate acting as the non-assessed dummy should have completed their own test first, and in option C) care must be taken to ensure the candidate does not repeat any tasks/materials in the second test. If you have problems finding suitable dummy candidates please contact Cambridge ESOL for advice.
