    EuroPro B2 Examination Guide


    The Euro and EuroPro exams test communicative competence by testing success in real communication.
    Exam tasks are directly based on the Common European Framework of the Council of Europe. Passing the
    Euro or the EuroPro Exam indicates that the candidate can undertake a variety of real-life tasks in English.
    At the B2 EuroPro Exam there are five types of examination the candidate may attempt:
    Monolingual Written (Written examination without the mediation test)
    Bilingual Written (Written examination with the mediation test)
    Oral (Oral Examination only)
    Monolingual Complex (Written and oral examinations without the mediation test)
    Bilingual Complex (written and oral examinations with the mediation test)
    To pass any of these examinations the candidate must have an average mark of 60% over all the tests
    attempted and score at least 40% in every test.
    If the candidate fails a complex examination, but has satisfied the conditions for passing either the written or
    the oral examination, s/he is awarded the written or oral examination.

    words.

    formal discussion.

    to prepare the presentation. The candidate may make
    notes in the preparation stage, but should not read aloud
    from a prepared script.

    Task 3 Transactional Dialogues

    a situation, the candidates role in the situation and gives
    instructions. The candidate speaks, the interlocutor
    gives a scripted reply and then the candidate responds
    to the reply. Each candidate will have three cue cards.
    Candidates alternate in doing this task.

    Task 4 Discussion
    The candidates as a pair receive a topic card which
    contains a debatable point or question (e.g. what are
    some of the problems of living in a foreign country?).
    First they think of issues which answer the question or
    contribute to the debate. Then the candidates discuss,
    expand on and prioritise these issues. Task 4 is the only
    task in the speaking test in which the candidates talk to

    their partner.
