��The End of Term Exam is made up of three sections.
�Part 1
Part 1 of the Reading Summative Assessment is a narrative text. The purpose of a narrative text is to entertain rather than inform. It can be a literary text, involving a story written from either a first- or third-person perspective. This text type is characterised by informal language, direct speech, characters and plot.

�Outcomes
Assessments written using a narrative text ask students about information from the events, description and characters in the text. The outcomes in part 1 are detailed in the individual assessment planners for their respective level and include the following, depending on the assessment specifications:
Overall meaning – questions around overall meaning ask students for information from the entire text. They could ask about an alternative title for the text, for example, as this means the student needs to have comprehended the whole text in order to answer correctly.
Specific information – questions that ask students for the information of a few words in the text. Students need to demonstrate that they can accurately pinpoint the required information in the text. These questions often involve facts and might begin with ‘what,’ ‘when’ or ‘where.’
Details – questions that require the information from a whole sentence or clause to answer. They are often focused around the reasons for something or results of something and might begin with ‘why’ or ‘how.’

�Part 2
Part 2 of the Reading Assessment is an informative text. This text type’s purpose is to impart information and it has a lot of facts. The language used can be informal (blog posts, for example, can be informative texts) or formal (newspaper articles or academic journals can also be informative texts). Informative texts can be written from a first-person perspective (blog posts and reports, for example) or can be formal and impersonal (articles).

�Outcomes
Assessments written using an informative text ask students about factual information. The outcomes in part 2 are detailed in the individual assessment planners and include the following, depending on the assessment specifications for the particular level:
Specific information
Details
Main points – questions that ask students to comprehend the information from an entire paragraph or section of the text. In an informative, factual text, this could be from the topic sentence of a well-constructed paragraph. Examples of main points questions could be, ‘What is the topic of paragraph three?’ or, ‘In paragraph 4, what does Salim say about future jobs?’

�Part 3
Part 3 of the assessment is a MAZE. This is a short informative text with nine gaps in the sentences that assess students’ proficiency in level-specific grammar, functional language and lexis. This assessment type is called a MAZE because it is a textual maze. Students need to be able to make the right 'turns' within a short text by selecting the correct word or words to complete sentences. It requires students to make connections between different parts of a text and apply their skills and knowledge in an integrated, authentic way.
This is a MAZE 1 (text / texting / texts). It has gaps that students 2 (have to / don’t have to / might) fill by choosing the correct 3 (grammer / grammar / gramar), functional language or vocabulary point. It is an efficient method of testing students 4 (due to / but / because) it allows testing of multiple different elements of language in a single 5 (assessement / assessment / assessment). It is also quite cognitively 6 (demanding / demand / demanded) as students may need the context of sentences around the one with the gap 7 (in respect of / in order to / in connection with) answer correctly.
