What do I need to submit to Cambridge for moderation for Component 4 (Speaking and Listening Test)?

The Speaking and Listening Test (Component 4):

Component 4 is split into two parts. The test, which must be recorded for all candidates, will take place during a period before the main examination series.

• For Part 1 candidates must prepare an individual task in advance of the test (for example, a presentation, a talk, a speech, a monologue) on a topic of their own choice. This will last 3-4 minutes and is worth 20 marks for Speaking.
• In Part 2 candidates participate in a wider conversation with the teacher/examiner about the candidate's chosen topic or theme. This will last 7-8 minutes and is worth 20 marks: 10 marks for Speaking and 10 marks for Listening.

Dictionaries may be used to prepare, but not during the test. In a separate despatch, you need to send us a copy of the final or internally moderated marks.

Submission of samples to Cambridge:

You need to send us each candidate's final mark, or the internally moderated mark, where more than one teacher/examiner is used, by the dates published on the Samples Database. 

You also need to submit:

• the total marks for all candidates using the Submit for Assessment portal
• the recording for each candidate listed in the sample request as a separate file in .mp3 format.
