46 2.4 Writing Test Specifications In the Writing subtest, candidates will be asked to demonstrate their written communication skills. Candidates can choose one of two options. Each task consists of a brief description of a situation and four jumbled guiding points. The candidates are expected to write a semi-formal email, appropriate in content and form, based on the situation and the guiding points. They should address all four guiding points in the order that they think is best. Candidates are encouraged to demonstrate the best of their writing abilities, and the way in which they do so will be reflected in the score they attain and the CEFR level they are deemed to have achieved. While some candidates may take a concise approach that fully addresses the guiding points, others may choose to elaborate on the required information. Both writing styles are equally acceptable, and for this reason, no word count is specified.
