The content of this test exam is communicative. Objects of testing are the abilities of foreigners to communicate in typical situations that require the comprehensive application of different types of speech activity (in various combinations), as well as specific communication skills, for example, the ability to make contacts (orally or in writing), to choose the right strategy of communication depending on the flowing communication conditions and adjust it adequately to changing circumstances.

Thus, the purpose of each test task is to check real communicative skills of a candidate. Each task includes a description of the situation in which the communicative act takes place and the off-topic task (real-life goal to be achieved). Each task is preceded by an instruction to it. Use of reference books during the exam is prohibited.
