For Level 3 Speaking in Public examinations (Grades 6 to 8), the Learner is required to present an impromptu speech. 


During the Impromptu element, the Examiner will provide three topics for the Learner to choose from. The Learner will then have 15 minutes in the examination room to prepare the speech.


During this preparation time, Learners cannot use the internet to help with the preparation of their impromptu speech. 


If they are using an electronic device to prepare the notes for their speech, then they must ensure that they demonstrate to the Examiner that their device is in Airplane Mode, and they must remain in the view of the Examiner throughout their preparation.


The Learner may take a watch (analogue or digital) into the Examination room with them; however, it must not be a smartwatch or a stopwatch.


The Examiner will act as an invigilator during the impromptu preparation time and will let the Learner know at regular intervals how much time they have left to prepare their impromptu speech.
