It tests your hability to

1 min "long turn" speaking, which nobody interrupts you
2 min "long turn" speaking, which nobody interrupts you
2 min "long turn" speaking, which you can be interrupted

1 colour photos, and asks you to compare it with nothing
2 colour photos, and asks you to compare them
2 colour photos, and asks you to make a paper ball

can't read the question, as it is not printed on the page
can also read the question, as it is printed on the page
