The Speaking, Listening and Communication section will need you to be assessed giving a presentation and taking part in a discussion. This tutorial provides some handy hints and tips for preparing for these tasks as well as providing some more information on what you need to do for the final exam.

This tutorial will help make sure your written work is accurate. It focuses solely on spelling, punctuation and grammar because this accounts for 40% of the marks awarded for the writing paper. Therefore, it is vital that your grammar is appropriate and helps support your overall meaning.
