Notes
Using a printed dictionary is allowed during the whole of the Reading and Writing tests. Timing for tasks on the Question Paper in a test is a recommendation only. These are the two tests for candidates who only take the written exam.
Announcement of spoken exam schedule
This is the first part for those candidates who only take the spoken exam. You can only use your printed dictionary in the last 5 minutes of the Listening test, when the audio recording allows you to do so.
No matter how much time you have before the afternoon Speaking test, grab a lunch and do something to relax, focus on something completely different to reduce stress.
Printed dictionary permitted during the 10-minute preparation stage.
