FAQs

Separate Written and Spoken exams leading to two separate certificates.

• Written and Spoken exams of the same or of a different level can be taken together or independently according to the candidate’s convenience. For example, Speaking can be taken as a standalone exam if only proof of speaking ability is needed.

• Grammar and vocabulary are integrated into the three sections of the Written exam and are not examined separately.

• The Written exam is uninterrupted, without time limits per section so that each candidate allocates their time whichever way they choose without having to wait for other candidates to finish.

• The Spoken exam is always recorded, guaranteeing impartiality and ensuring the potential for remarking.

• Each candidate is examined individually by an Interlocutor, who engages in the conversation but is not responsible for the candidate’s assessment. The evaluation takes place at a later stage by an Ankara University TÖMER Marker.

All levels of the LanguageCert AÜ TÖMER TürkYet exams are mapped to the levels of the CEFR.

The CEFR is a guideline used to assess and describe foreign language proficiency across Europe and, increasingly, worldwide. The six CEFR levels are widely accepted as the European and global standards for grading an individual's language proficiency.

Teachers should be able to assess whether a student can cope with the demands of a certain exam level by:

• referring to the sample practice papers provided on our website and conducting a brief interview.

• referencing the CEFR can-do statements.
