It clarifies that standard extra time allowances typically apply only to preparation periods, excluding International GCSE or International A Level unit 3 exams that lack preparation time. For instances where additional time is required for the actual recorded portion of an assessment, centres must bypass the standard Access Arrangements portal. Instead, they are required to submit a formal application by emailing the Pearson special requirements team, providing detailed candidate and qualification information, and justifying the need for the extension. Strict adherence to these protocols is mandatory, as examiners are instructed to cease assessment once the maximum time limit is reached unless prior approval for an extension has been officially granted and communicated. This ensures the integrity and fairness of the examination process for all candidates with special requirements.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/pearson-edexcel-guidance-for-speaking-assessments-with-extra-time/624072/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/pearson-edexcel-guidance-for-speaking-assessments-with-extra-time/624072.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"jay","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-02","2026-10-20",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":29},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"When does standard extra time for exams apply to speaking assessments?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"Standard extra time typically applies only to the preparation time allowed for an exam, unless it is a specific unit such as International GCSE or International A Level unit 3 where no preparation time is allocated.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"How should centres apply for extra time for the recorded portion of a speaking exam?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"Centres must email uk.special.requirements@pearson.com with specific candidate and qualification details, explaining why extra time is necessary for the recorded segment beyond the preparation phase.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"What happens if a candidate takes extra time during recording without prior approval?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"Examiners will stop marking once the maximum prescribed time is reached and will not assess any content recorded beyond that limit.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},624072,1792611807,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":19,"category_name":20,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":29,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":8,"language":139,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":140,"faqs":141,"seo_title":142,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":143,"read_time":81},3985747858866,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_a8503ba1806abce46bf441b54a3ca4cd","Guidance for centres with candidates requiring extra time for speaking assessments  \nUsually candidates who are allowed extra time in their exams will only have this applied to any preparation time for the exam (this does not apply to International GCSE or International A Level unit 3 where there is no preparation time allocated) .  \nIf centres believe that a candidate requires extra time for the recorded portion of the speaking exam it is essential that they seek approval.
