Assessment Criteria
HOW IS THE TEST ASSESSED?
The CCL test is marked by trained, impartial examiners. The examiners assess each candidate’s ability to communicate in both tested languages. You should read NAATI’s language policy to understand how the examiners will assess the use of your language in the test.
The test consists of two dialogues: each worth 45 marks. In order to pass the test, a candidate requires at least 29 marks in each dialogue and an overall score of 63 out of 90.
NAATI assess CCL tests using a mark deduction method. This means that each test begins with 90 marks, and marks are taken off if the candidate makes errors during their test. Each error will result in a different number of marks being taken off, depending on how much it impacts on the overall communication.
Candidates should pay particular attention to:
Language quality– competency in both English and the other language being assessed.
Language register– matching the formality of the speaker when you transfer the meaning of what they say to the other person.
Excessive repeats – only one repeated segment per dialogue is allowed without penalty.
Marks are deducted for the following types of errors:
Accuracy – how correct the information is, not removing or adding any information, and not more than one repeated segment per dialogue.
Quality of language – using good sentence structure, natural use of the language and pronunciation, the right level of formality, not making many grammatical errors.
Quality of delivery – no excessive pauses, hesitations or self-corrections.
Marks are deducted for errors. Examiners consider the types of errors in your performance and how these impact on your overall communication.
Errors for which the examiners deduct a candidate’s score are:
Accuracy (correctness of information)
Distortions (misrepresentation of information)
Omissions (removal of information)
Insertions (addition of information)
Each examiner awards your results individually. In situations where the examiners disagree about the performance of a candidate, additional examiners will assess your test to help determine your final result.
