Hi Guy D'ageradar,
Could you elaborate on your test? Was it a proficiency test, diagnostic, entrance or other? Was it written?
I met the person responsible for the new Language Proficiency Requirements (LPR) for FOCA (I believe it is called) at a JAA meeting and am curious on what they'll be doing for testing. Also, it has been recommended by all linguists that level 6 be the level required for raters and interlocutors. It is very possible, especially in countries where more than one language is considered a native tongue, that these people spoke English as a second or foreign language, but that they are expert in it.
Was it all aviation (to follow the guidelines it must be)? If you could let me know some detail on the test and why you were taking it, I would be quite appreciative.
