B2 FIRST FOR SCHOOLS SPEAKING TEST

The B2 First for Schools Speaking test is designed to assess the oral proficiency of candidates at a B2 level (upper-intermediate). It comprises four distinct parts, each testing different aspects of spoken English in various contexts:

Part 1

This introductory part involves a conversation between the examiner and the candidates. Candidates answer personal questions about familiar topics such as hobbies, daily routines, and interests.

Part 2

Candidates are given two photographs and asked to compare them. They speak for about a minute, focusing on comparing both pictures and answering a related question. Then, the other candidate is asked a follow-up question.

Part 3

Candidates discuss a situation using written prompts, exploring options and making decisions together. This part tests the ability to engage in discussion, express opinions, agree or disagree, and negotiate.

Part 4

The final part extends the discussion from Part 3. The examiner asks questions related to the topic discussed, evaluating candidates' ability to express and justify opinions, agree or disagree with their partner, and engage in a deeper discussion.
