Assessment schedule

Assessment is spread across the term rather than saved for the end, so both teacher and learner can see progress while there is still time to act on it.

  1. Week 1: diagnostic.
  2. Week 4: half mock in listening and reading.
  3. Week 6: speaking and writing mock.
  4. Weeks 7–8: full mock. A2 and B1 use different materials and marking criteria; passing the exam is not promised.
