Section 4 has one individual who talks about an academic subject.

Every section starts with a brief introduction telling aspirants about the situation. In Section 4, a person talks about an academic topic. They then have some time to discuss the issues. The questions are in the same order as the documenting material, so the answer to the first question is before the answer to the second question, and so forth. There is a break in the middle of the first three parts to allow participants to check the remaining questions. Each section is only heard once. The students are given 10 minutes at the end of the test to pass their answers to a reply sheet. Test takers for wrong spelling and grammar would lose points.
