A: Hey, didn’t you have your exam yesterday?
B: Yes, I did.
A: So, what was it like? It was a BEC exam, wasn’t it?
B: Yes. It was. It was the BEC Vantage.
A: What does that mean?
B: Well, it’s the middle one. There are three BEC exams; the Preliminary, the Vantage and the Higher.
A: So what level is that, compared to FCE for example.
B: Well, it’s like the FCE. It’s an Upper Intermediate level.
A: So what did you have to do? Was there a speaking test? Were you nervous?
B: Hang on! One question at a time.
A: Sorry!
B: There are four exams; Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking.
A: And how are they marked? I mean, do you have to pass all of the papers in order to pass the exam? Or do they work out an average score?
B: Each paper is worth 25% of the total mark. So if you don’t do too well in one paper, you can make up the marks on another paper.
A: How long did the exam last?
B: The Reading paper was the longest; that was an hour. Then the writing lasted 45 minutes and the Listening was 40 minutes.
