What Does the B1 ISE I Test Involve?

The B1 ISE I exam tests your ability in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. The full test is taken on the same day and is divided into two parts:

Reading & Writing (2 hours)

You will complete four tasks:

  1. Long Reading – Read one long text and answer 15 questions. Topics may include travel, money, transport, or music.
  2. Multi-text Reading – Read four shorter texts and answer 15 questions. Topics may include festivals, fashion, personal stories, or special occasions.
  3. Reading into Writing – Write a short text based on the information from the readings above.
  4. Extended Writing – Write a longer piece on a general topic like health, entertainment, or travel.

Speaking & Listening (16 minutes)

This part has three sections and is conducted online via video call with a Trinity examiner:

  1. Topic Discussion (4 mins)
    You choose a topic and prepare in advance using a Topic Form, which must be brought to the exam. You will talk about this topic with the examiner.
  2. Conversation Task (2 mins)
    A short discussion based on a subject chosen by the examiner.
  3. Independent Listening (10 mins)
    You will listen to two different audio recordings:

    • After the first recording, you’ll answer six questions.
    • After the second, you’ll list six facts aloud and answer four follow-up questions.
    • Each recording is played twice.
