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:
- Long Reading – Read one long text and answer 15 questions. Topics may include travel, money, transport, or music.
- Multi-text Reading – Read four shorter texts and answer 15 questions. Topics may include festivals, fashion, personal stories, or special occasions.
- Reading into Writing – Write a short text based on the information from the readings above.
- 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:
- 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. - Conversation Task (2 mins)
A short discussion based on a subject chosen by the examiner. - 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.
