What happens if a candidate finishes his/her contribution early in Phase 1b?
The interlocutor should first wait a short time to ensure that the candidate is not formulating thoughts before beginning to speak again. If the candidate does not continue, the interlocutor should move on to the next stage of the test. Allowing a long period of silence to develop is off-putting for both candidates. At Levels 1 and 2, this is specified in the interlocutor rubric.
