FCE Speaking test

You usually take the speaking exam together with one other student.
The exam lasts about 14 minutes and has four parts:

1. Interview (3 minutes)
You will be asked questions about your home town, family, work or study, free time and future plans.

2. Individual tasks (4 minutes)
You will be asked to compare two photographs and explain your personal feelings/thought/opinions about them (you will need to speak for 1 minute, without any interruption).

You will also need to give your opinion about the other student's photographs (you will need to speak for about 20 seconds).

3. Joint task (3 minutes)
You will be shown some pictures. You will be asked to discuss these with the other student and to make a decision.

You might get asked to agree on a conclusion/decision or you might be told to make different decisions.

4. Three-way discussion (4 minutes)
You will be asked to discuss, with the student and the examiner, various ideas that are connected with a joint task.
