• support teachers and learners for the Cambridge O Level English as a Second Language Paper 3 Speaking test
• demonstrate the role of the examiner and the structure of the Speaking test
• give an indication of different levels of candidate performance.

The videos and audios in this resource are demonstrations only. The candidates and teachers volunteered to take part so that we could provide this support for our teachers. The tests were marked and commented on by a Cambridge examiner. 

Examiner comments highlight where each candidate gains marks and could make improvements, and final marks have been awarded to give an indication of the level. Grades and certificates were not given to any of the participants. 

We used the 2024 specimen materials which are available on the School Support Hub.

• 2024 Specimen Examiner's Notes 03

Important note: Centres are not required to video the speaking tests.  More information can be found in the Cambridge Handbook.
