The three skills tests—Listening, Reading, and Writing—were conducted, followed by the Speaking test, in an exceptionally well-organized environment and under meticulous academic and administrative supervision. The test continued for several hours until approximately 7:00 PM, and concluded successfully. A heartfelt thanks is due to the  center’s staff and the invigilators for their efforts to ensure the test was conducted according to approved international standards.
