How to choose the right exam level for your learners

At the start of the school year, it can be difficult to know your students’ current ability level and which Cambridge English Qualification they should take. Here are some resources to help you choose the right exam level for your students:

• Check your learners’ current level with our sample tests. Whether you use a few sections, or the full test, our sample tests will help you match your learners’ ability to the right exam.
• Find out how your students might do in the exam with our practice test score converter.

When you have chosen the right exam for your students, we have all the resources you need to speak to their parents about the benefits of our qualifications.

Is this your first time preparing students for a Cambridge English Qualification?

When preparing and entering your learners for a Cambridge English Qualification, your school will automatically become a Cambridge English preparation centre.

In our latest article, we explore the resources available to you, how to get started with exam preparation, and how to become a preparation centre.
