Description

Objective:

This examination is a multiple-choice exam and a practical exercise for speech delivery which is designed to be taken in two parts. The two parts should be taken in order. Students who do not complete both parts within six months will have their score invalidated and will need to retest. Students must pass both parts of the exam in order to receive credit.

Skills Measured:

The skills measured include ethical, social, and theoretical considerations of public speaking (e.g. free speech) (9 percent); audience analysis, adaptation, and effect (analyzing the audience before, during, and after the speech) (15 percent); topics and purposes of speeches (formulating appropriate speech topics for specific purposes) (9 percent); structure/organization (e.g. 'the hook', structuring introductions, bodies, and conclusions) (17 percent); content (e.g. recognizing/using argument, reasoning, and evidence) (17 percent); research (using reference materials/finding appropriate sources in speech preparation) (11 percent); language and style (using language appropriate for a public speech) (9 percent); and delivery (e.g. articulation, voice, pronunciation, body language, and media) (13 percent).
