• Each task will have a time limit and word requirement specified in the instructions.

4. Numeracy – Approximately 1 hour

• The numeracy section is available only for selected qualifications.
• If it does not appear on your test page, it means it is not required for your course.

5. Digital Skills – Approximately 1 hour

• The digital section is also available only for certain qualifications.
• If it does not appear on your test page, it means it is not required for your course.

Before You Begin

• Test your audio device using the sample recording below before starting the Listening section.
  • You will have only one attempt at the test.
  • The sample recording is provided solely to check that your device and browser audio are working correctly.
• In the actual test, audio will play automatically. To ensure this works:
  • Check and enable your browser’s autoplay settings.
  • Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge are recommended browsers.
  • Firefox and Safari are not recommended as they often block automatic audio playback by default.

Important Reminders

• Do not click “Next Page” until you have completed all questions on the current page.
• Do not refresh, close, or navigate away from the test window once started.
• Ensure you are working independently without assistance from others or online resources.
