Perfectly balanced to fit the hand and light weight(1 lb.), the Vibro-Tool handles as easily as writing with a pencil. Marking is accomplished mechanically by vibrations of the marking tool-120 reciprocal strokes per second-consumes less current than a 60 watt light bulb. The use of the Vibro-Tool ranges from engraving simple identification numbers and chemical nomenclature on bottles or slides to engraving special calibration markings on equipment and experimental dials, gauges and measures.

There are separate second language tests to assess each of three skills : reading, writing and oral interaction. Each test assesses the three levels(A, B, or C) of second language proficiency that may be required for bilingual positions in the Public Service of Canada. Candidates who obtain a score high enough that they need not be tested again on a given test are exempted from taking it in the future. All tests are administered in test centres located in departments and in PSC regional offices. Requests for testing are made through the official languages section of departments. Second Language Evaluation tests cannot be used for assessing first language ability. 6, record 16, English, - Second%20Language%20Evaluation

Il existe trois tests de langue seconde, chacun mesurant l'une des habiletés suivantes : la compréhension de l'écrit, l'expression écrite et l'interaction orale. Chaque test permet d'évaluer les candidats en regard des trois niveaux (A, B et C) de compétence linguistique en langue seconde exigibles pour les postes bilingues au sein de la fonction publique fédérale. Les candidats qui obtiennent une note suffisamment élevée indiquant qu'ils n'ont pas besoin d'être évalués à nouveau dans une habileté reçoivent une exemption dans cette habileté et n'ont pas à subir ce test à nouveau. Tous ces tests sont administrés dans les centres d'évaluation des ministères et dans les bureaux régionaux de la CFP. Les demandes d'administration sont faites auprès des services d'évaluation de langue seconde des ministères. Ces tests d'évaluation de langue seconde ne peuvent servir à évaluer les compétences linguistiques des candidats dans leur langue maternelle. 7, record 16, French, - %C3%89valuation%20de%20langue%20seconde
