Knowledge of grammar and vocabulary at B1 level corresponding to the compulsory literature used in courses GEN1 and GEN2 (see the courses documentation) is regarded as a minimum to pass the exam.

The exam has a written and an oral part and tests the knowledge of General English at B1 level. The written part tests the knowledge of grammar and vocabulary, while the oral part tests the ability to engage in conversation spontaneously without prior preparation. It also assesses fluency of speech, pronunciation and the ability to use grammar and vocabulary covered in the compulsory literature. The student is required to score at least 50% in both parts of the exam.

The aim of the exam is to demonstrate that the student is able to communicate in English independently at B1 level.

A student who successfully passes the GEN3 exam understands the main ideas of comprehensible input on topics that he/she regularly encounters in everyday situations, in the workplace, while studying or visiting places where English is used as the main language of communication. A successful exam candidate can engage in conversation, describe facts, events and goals, and can briefly give reasons and explanations for opinions and plans. The scope corresponds to B1 level and the content of the courses GEN1 and GEN2 (see courses documentation).
