Hi, is there any time limit on recording the read aloud task.
For example , if I have a small paragraph to read and with my speaking fluency it will finish in 23 seconds. So will I get marks or it will be marked as zero.
You get 40 seconds to record your answer. If you finish your answer before the time allotted, it’s a good thing. You won’t get a zero.
Thanks, But is it that I need to finish not less than 33 second. Is there any condition of minimum time of recording.
There are no such conditions.
