The test :
- is designed to assess a candidate's spoken and listening ability according to the ICAO band descriptors.
- is conducted in the form of a one-to-one interview between the candidate and the examiner.

Part B: Candidates are presented with a series of problem solving role-play scenarios. The candidate is required to ask questions and give advice.

Section Three: Description and Discussion (8 minutes)
