Candidates must demonstrate the ability to decode, interpret, and analyse original source materials not specifically adapted for learners, ranging from literary excerpts to journalistic media. Assessment focuses on the identification of explicit details, the inference of implicit meaning, and the recognition of register and tone within complex syntactic structures. Proficiency requires the application of grammatical knowledge to parse high-level syntax (e.g., passive voice, subjunctive mood) and the utilization of contextual clues to deduce the meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary.
