The listening section is divided into two parts, with the first part being 5 dialogues, each followed by a question requiring the candidate to select the best option within 10 seconds after listening. The second part consists of 4 dialogues and a monologue, requiring candidates to listen carefully with questions and choose the best answer from the options a, b, c provided after the questions.

The oral test part is divided into three sections. The first section is a self-introduction by the candidate.
