What is Involved in the Functional Skills English Level 1 Exam?

The writing exam consists of writing your own, long-form answers to given scenarios, and lasts one hour. The SLC task will consist of communicating with other learners to test your abilities to speak, listen and communicate, and will last 30 minutes.

They will be going through various checks to see if you are fit to do the exam, and help you with any tech issues. Once you are on the exam, they will be muted and will be monitoring you during your exam.
