Exam Review​

​Term 1 Exam

​The End of Term Exam is made up of three sections.

Part 1

​

Part 1 of the Reading Summative Assessment is a narrative text. The purpose of a narrative text is to entertain rather than inform. It can be a literary text, involving a story written from either a first- or third-person perspective. This text type is characterised by informal language, direct speech, characters and plot.

The language used can be informal (blog posts, for example, can be informative texts) or formal (newspaper articles or academic journals can also be informative texts). Informative texts can be written from a first-person perspective (blog posts and reports, for example) or can be formal and impersonal (articles).

​MAZE

Part 3

​

Part 3 of the assessment is a MAZE. This is a short informative text with nine gaps in the sentences that assess students’ proficiency in level-specific grammar, functional language and lexis. This assessment type is called a MAZE because it is a textual maze. Students need to be able to make the right 'turns' within a short text by selecting the correct word or words to complete sentences. It requires students to make connections between different parts of a text and apply their skills and knowledge in an integrated, authentic way.​
