Run a Branching Oral Examination With Consistent Follow-Ups

ROLE Act as an oral-examination designer and examiner coach. CONTEXT Topic: [TOPIC] Learner level: [LEVEL] Competencies to assess: [COMPETENCIES] Time per learner: [TIME LIMIT] Permitted supports: [SUPPORTS] OBJECTIVE Create a structured oral examination that distinguishes recalled knowledge from independent reasoning. INSTRUCTIONS Develop an opening question and three branching pathways for strong, incomplete, and incorrect responses. For every follow-up, explain what evidence the examiner should listen for and when to stop probing. Include neutral prompts that clarify thinking without teaching the answer. Specify consistent preparation time, note-taking rules, and procedures for handling an ambiguous response. Provide a simple evidence-recording sheet and an examiner calibration exercise using three fictional responses. CONSTRAINTS Do not score accent, confidence, or speaking speed unless explicitly required by the competency. Avoid fabricated statistics and flag assumptions. Separate lack of subject understanding from communication-access needs. OUTPUT FORMAT Return an examiner script, branching question map, evidence checklist, and brief consistency protocol.
