The aim of the exam is to demonstrate that the student is able to communicate in English independently at B1 level.
A student who successfully passes the GEN3 exam understands the main ideas of comprehensible input on topics that he/she regularly encounters in everyday situations, in the workplace, while studying or visiting places where English is used as the main language of communication. A successful exam candidate can engage in conversation, describe facts, events and goals, and can briefly give reasons and explanations for opinions and plans. The scope corresponds to B1 level and the content of the courses GEN1 and GEN2 (see courses documentation).
