Prepare. Action. Feedback. Get the most from mock tests
Mock tests can help give students an authentic experience of taking a Cambridge English exam. Our website gives you lots of ideas for using mock tests to identify students’ strengths and areas to develop while building exam-day confidence.
If you are preparing students for our computer-based exams, Teaching Tips for Computer-Based Cambridge English Qualifications has lots of ideas and activities. The booklet helps you familiarise students with completing tasks on the Cambridge exam platform and covers practising English reading, writing and listening tasks on-screen and with headphones.
Unpacking the Exam Journey – building ‘Complete’ confidence for, and success in, Cambridge English Qualifications
The journey to test-day can often seem like a long and twisting road. Teachers make sure they cover all elements of the syllabus and students work diligently completing tasks set. But what are the component parts of the journey, moving through the CEFR level and building exam skills along the way? Join us for a series of three webinars. Our expert guides are ready to unpack the exam journey, pointing out the important way-markers in developing students’ language, skills and confidence as they move forward towards exam day.
