Level 2 - Tutor's Toolkit - Communication: Introduction
The Test
Form of questions
Each of the questions is multiple-choice, with four potential answers. One is correct (the key) and three are wrong (the distractors). They are designed to encourage candidates to reason correctly and work things out carefully. Finding the correct answer to a question will not depend on having answered the previous question correctly.
The test is made up of groups of questions based on different scenarios - usually short passages of text, such as letters, tables, memos, leaflets, etc. At least two groups of questions will be based on longer, more complex material.
Each group will include questions from more than one skill area:
