The Euro exams test communicative competence by testing success in real communication. The Exam tasks are directly based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages issued by the Council of Europe. Passing a Euro exam indicates that the candidate can undertake a variety of real-life tasks in English. In the Euro exams we test language skills and systems together - there are no separate oral and written examinations.
Many of the tasks -just like the use of language in real-life situations - require the simultaneous use of various speaking-listening and writing-reading sub-skills. For this reason candidates cannot take the tests separately. In the assessment of writing and speaking, accuracy is of course tested, but more weight is given to the candidate's ability to convey a message clearly and appropriately without omitting any relevant details. This integrated-skills and task-based approach is in line with current views and standards throughout Europe.
