Can we conduct the speaking tests over multiple days?

Speaking tests must be carried out within the test window specified in the timetable, and in as short a period as possible, ideally on consecutive days. We understand that with large cohorts it may not be possible to complete all tests in one day, so you may conduct the tests on different days provided that: 

·  candidates are recorded and assessed under the same conditions. 

·  candidates must not discuss the content of role play cards and topics used in their test with others yet to complete the test. 

·  when you are conducting tests on more than one day, you should continue the sequence as shown in the randomisation grid. For example, if you conduct 20 tests on the first day, you should start the second day from row 21 of the table. 

· each candidate's test must only be conducted once and not be repeated. 

· you must follow the guidance in section 3.4 of the Cambridge Handbook when making and returning recordings to us.
