      Conduct of the test

      The test was managed effectively, with the teacher/examiner providing clear instructions and using alternative questions appropriately when needed. The pacing was good, and the teacher/examiner maintained a supportive approach throughout.

      Some questions were repeated appropriately when the candidate appeared confused.

      However, the teacher/examiner could have used more varied extension prompts to better encourage the candidate to elaborate on their responses.
