I felt that certain elements of the speaking and listening sections could use enhancement. During the speaking part, I was uncomfortable as I could not select the topic. Discussing an unfamiliar subject made it challenging for me to express myself clearly and confidently. In the listening section, the examiner spoke quite rapidly and presented a lot of information simultaneously. Although note-taking is permitted, nerves can distract candidates, leading to missed important details. I believe the listening tasks would benefit from shorter, clearer texts that get straight to the point. It would also be advantageous for candidates to choose from a variety of topics they are comfortable with, allowing them to showcase their language abilities better. Being questioned on unfamiliar topics can lead to increased nervousness, sometimes causing candidates to freeze. On a positive note, the overall organization of the exam was commendable. The location, staff, and exam team were professional, courteous, and supportive, which I appreciated.
