Structure of the TECH A1 exam

It consists of 4 parts:  

Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing

The total duration of the exam is 90 to 135 minutes, with the first three parts taking place one after the other (1st Listening, 2nd Writing, 3rd Reading). There will be a minimum of 20 minutes of rest between the first three parts and the 4th part (Speaking), which can be done on the same day, or on a different day, with a maximum limit of 7 days after the other block has been completed.

Listening (Duration 30-40 minutes)

Listening. It consists of 2-4 exercises, each of which is based on an audio recording that can be a monologue or a conversation between 2 or more people. Exercises include multiple response, sentence completion, completion charts, graphs or diagrams, and short from answers in one or two sentences.

Example auditory comprehension task

Identify the main situation and/or idea. Text type: series of five monologues or short independent dialogues, e.g., advertisements, messages, short conversations, etc. Task type: students must choose the correct graphic from the three options presented.

Reading (Duration: 30-40 minutes)

It consists of 40 questions grouped in 3 sections. Each text is 100-150 words long and several questions are asked about it. The texts are basic and fictional, and have been specially designed for the test. The type of questions, as in the oral part, vary widely: multiple choice, completing tables, graphs or diagrams, or locating information in the text. 

Example Reading Comprehension Task

Find predictable factual information in texts such as signs, advertisements, schedules, menus with some visual support. Type of text: signs, advertisements, etc., on an everyday topic with visual support. Type of task: multiple choice based on short texts that focus on certain information. The correct answer must be chosen.

Writing (Duration: 30-40 minutes)

This part consists of two short essay exercises between 30-60 words. Usually, a piece of information is presented very briefly (a couple of lines), followed by a statement about it, and then the candidate is asked to explain whether they agree or disagree with the statement, briefly stating the necessary arguments. 

Speaking (Duration: 10-15 minutes)

In this last part, a conversation is held with an examiner, and it is designed to be as realistic as possible. It is divided into 2 subsections. In the first, the candidate responds to personal, family and/or everyday questions. In the second, the examiner and the candidate hold a basic conversation on a specific topic, where oral interaction and discussion skills are assessed. The entire speaking part is recorded for later review purposes.
