This test mixes questions from the seven Part 2 lessons: the motion and the two sides, speaker roles and order, timing, points of information, judging, polite phrases and the 3-point speech. Pass it to earn the Part 2 badge.
Know the rules of the room — “motion, roles, order, time, POIs, judging, phrases, structure”
Find the topic of the question: motion, roles, order, timing, POI, judging, phrases or speech structure.

Use it for: Revising Part 2 before an inter-house or inter-school debate.
Worked example: 🎤 In a 3-a-side debate, who speaks first: the 2nd opposition speaker or the 3rd proposition speaker? → 2nd opposition speaker
The order is P1, O1, P2, O2, P3, O3: the 2nd opposition speaker is 4th and the 3rd proposition speaker is 5th.
So the 2nd opposition speaker speaks first.
Check: Practise aloud: hold a mini debate at home with two family members on “Homework should be optional”, with timed speeches and one POI ✓
Work it out in your head or on paper, type the answer and press Check. Stuck? Press “Show me how”.
