KET SPEAKING TEST

What you need to know about the KET Speaking Test

• There are two parts to the KET Speaking Test
• Two candidates take the test together
• There are two examiners in the room
• The test takes 8-10 minutes

Part 1: 5-6 minutes

The examiner asks you questions. You answer them. The questions are about you, your family, your job or studies and where you live. You will be asked to spell a word – usually your surname.

Some examples:
• What’s your name?
• Where do you live?
• Why are you learning English?
• What do you usually do at the weekend?
• What sports do you like?
• Tell me about your family

Part 2: 3-4 minutes

Two candidates take the KET Speaking test together. The examiner gives you a sheet, usually with a picture and some information. You ask and answer questions with the other candidate, not the examiner. These questions are not personal; they are about the information on the sheet. You take turns, Student A asks the questions. Student B answers the questions. There is a new sheet of paper. Student B asks the questions. Student A answers. To help you making the questions, there are question words on the sheet.

You will need to know how to use the following question words:

What, When, Where, Who, Why, How.

Remember - you are not in a competition with the other student.
