Criteria Score, Explanation, Suggestions

Fluency and Coherence 5 – The taker was stammering a lot. He also used a lot of fillers and was some kind of hesitant.

Suggestion: He should gather his thoughts first and have a few seconds to think before answering. He
could also slowdown a bit, I think he tries to talk very fast which is another factor for his stammering.

Lexical Resource 6—He has a good range of vocabulary however, the repetition of the phrase “for the time being” was
evident.

Suggestion: Could use these phrases instead: for now, for the moment, for the present, in the interim, and
in/for the meantime

Grammatical Range & 6— Although he has some grammatical slips, they don’t really change the point/context of his answers.
Accuracy It’s also a good thing that he is somewhat aware of his mistakes and did his best to make corrections.

Suggestion: Being aware of the grammar is good but if you are too conscious, you might focus more on
correcting yourself than answering the question itself.

Pronunciation 7—He has a nice pronunciation. He could be understood throughout the test although the clarity is
reduced because of stammering or repetition of words.

Suggestion: Calm down and breathe deeply before answering.

OVERALL SCORE: 6
