June 2013 series 6z - z6z13_01 (format version 14)

Each assessment code (apart from speaking) has a number of different options (A-L). This is because you can choose to conduct Asset Languages Listening, Reading and Writing tests at any point within a testing window.

The date and time when an assessment is carried out is called a test opportunity and each letter represents a different test opportunity.

If different groups of candidates are to sit the same assessment at different points during the testing window, each group should be allocated to a different test opportunity. OCR will send a different set of question papers for each test opportunity.
