5. Administration rules
During the Assessment cover all visual materials like: schemes, posters, pictures and maps
that can serve as prompts for the learners.
At the beginning of the Assessment read out the instructions and inform the learners about
the assessment duration. Remind learners that they are not allowed to talk with each other during
the Summative Assessment. After the instructions, make sure they have understood given
instructions and ask if they have any questions before the start of the assessment.
Ensure that the learners are working individually and not helping each other. During the
Summative Assessment learners should not have any access to additional resources that can help
them, for example, dictionaries (excluding the cases when it is allowed in specification).
Recommend learners to cross the wrong answers instead of using an eraser.
During the assessment you can answer learners' questions, regarding the instructions and the
assessment duration. You should not spell, paraphrase or provide any information that could give
the learner an advantage.
In case of finishing Listening section before than 10 minutes, feel free to come to Reading

Always tell the learners that they have 15 and 5 minutes left before the end of the
Summative Assessment.
