ESB B2 12 PRACTICE TESTS

ESB B2 12 Practice Tests. The ESB B2 examination consists of five sections: Speaking, Listening, Reading, Use of English and Writing. The speaking section takes place seperately; all of the other sections take place on the same day in a period of two hours and thirty minutes with NO breaks. The listening section comes first, and lasts between twenty-five minutes. The rest of the examination can be completed in whatever order the candidate wishes. All five sections carry equal weight in terms of marking, and are added together to produce the final score. This means that if a candidate does not do well in one section, it is still possible to pass by doing very well in the other sections. A pass mark is around 55%, depending on the difficulty of the paper.
