About the exam
The group works together to create a recital comprising verse and prose selections, linked together by their own words.
Throughout the qualification, learners engage with texts to discover creative ways of bringing them to life, before presenting them in a way that connects with their audience. In the performance, they have the option to either speak in unison or take individual roles.
Effective teamwork is essential for our Group exams. The group is graded as a whole, receiving one collective result for all their hard work.
