Our assessments aim to promote clear, effective and confident oral communication amongst all learners, and subsequently, they have been designed to encourage learners to reach a minimum ‘Pass’ standard in speaking, listening and responding. The tables in this section of the guide show the broad requirements of a ‘Pass’, ‘Merit’ and ‘Distinction’ grade for each of the four assessments. However, please note that the tables refer to a shortened interpretation of the full grading criteria. In addition, the grading criteria of each qualification is slightly different.

So, please do check individual specifications if you are unsure about anything.
