Which statement best describes how vocabulary is assessed across the exam?

• A. There isn't a single vocabulary-only section; Lexical Resource is the criterion applied across all sections.
• B. Each section has its own separate vocabulary test
• C. Vocabulary is not assessed
• D. Only the Listening section measures vocabulary

Answer: (A)

Vocabulary is evaluated across the entire exam, not in a single vocabulary-only section. The test uses Lexical Resource as the criterion to judge how well you use a wide range of vocabulary, accuracy, and appropriate word choice across listening, reading, speaking, and writing tasks. This means your vocabulary skills are reflected in every part, through how you paraphrase, choose terms, and show collocations in different contexts. The other options imply isolated vocabulary tests or no vocabulary assessment at all, or that only the Listening section measures vocabulary, which doesn’t match how the exam measures language ability across modalities.
