The test piece will consist of a plain language passage of 125 letters, five letters counting as one word, Candiadates are required to receive for five consecutive minutes at the speed of 5 words per minute from a double head-gear headphone receiver, international morse code signals from an audio oscillator keyed either manually or automatically. A short practice piece may be sent at the prescribed speed before the start of the actual test. Candidates will not be allowed more than one attempt in each test. The test may be written in ink or pencil but must be legible. Bad handwriting and over-writing will render a candidate liable to disqualification. More than 5 errors will disqualify a candidate.
