Summary of procedures
The usher introduces the child to the examiner.
1. The examiner greets the candidate and asks for name, surname and age.
2. The examiner demonstrates what is required and shows the candidate two pictures
which are similar but have some differences. The examiner reads statements about
the examiner’s picture. The candidate must look at the candidate’s picture, identify
six differences and say how the picture is different, e.g. (examiner) ‘In my picture,
the helicopter’s on the left.’ (candidate) ‘In my picture, it’s on the right.’
3. The examiner shows the child the candidate’s copy of the Information Exchange.
The examiner first asks the child questions about a person, place or object, related
to the information the child has, e.g. ‘What’s the name of George’s castle?’ and the
child answers. The child then asks the examiner questions, e.g. ‘What’s the name of
Grace’s castle?’ and the examiner answers.
4. The examiner shows the candidate a sequence of five pictures which show a story.
The examiner tells the candidate the name of the story and describes the first
picture in the story, e.g. ‘These pictures tell a story. It’s called “Grandma’s busy
day”. Just look at the pictures first. (Pause) Paul’s parents are going out for the
day. Paul is going to spend the day with Grandma. Paul’s mum is saying, “Be
good and don’t make Grandma tired!”’ The examiner then asks the candidate to
describe the other four pictures. The title of the story and the name(s) of the main
character(s) are shown on the story.
5. The examiner asks the candidate some personal questions on topics such as school,
holidays, birthdays, family and hobbies, e.g. ‘Now let’s talk about films. When do
you watch films?’
