You now will have an opportunity to view some video samples of examiners administering the IPT Oral Test. In accordance with privacy regulations, these are staged test occasions rather than actual operational tests. The settings are similar to operational tests. The video clips demonstrate the speed of test administration, and consequently the level of preparation you will need to be a good examiner. Sample 1 is from IPT I–Oral English, Form G; Sample 2 is from IPT II–Oral English, Form E; Sample 3 is from IPT I–Oral Spanish; and Sample 4 is from IPT II–Oral Spanish. The links below contain:
- the video clip on either YouTube or Vimeo
- a transcript of the sample, if you cannot or do not want to view the video.
Technology Note: The video clips can either be viewed on YouTube or on Vimeo. You will need FlashPlayer plug-in in order to see the video clip. Your computer may already have this software installed. If you cannot download the file, or do not wish to, a copy of the entire transcript (PDF) from the video clip appears below. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view this transcript.
If you do not have the required plug-ins to view the video on your computer, you may want to read the transcript instead. (NOTE: These videos are for illustration purposes only. They are not from authentic test situations.)
