The listening part focuses on the understanding of short and medium length dialogues from a university environment and medium length lectures.

The reading part contains five short texts accompanied by questions focused on the overall understanding of the particular text and the vocabulary therein. 2.

The students write the essay on a computer using the Microsoft Word editor and have the on-line version of the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary at their disposal. 3.

The exam comprises of two parts an independent monologue (3 minutes) and a discussion with an examiner.
