Cambridge English Exam: First Certificate or FCE
This certificate level is: B2 or Upper Intermediate
This Cambridge exam tests your range of spoken and written English. It tests your English language skills, your English vocabulary and your grammar.
This exam is one of the most widely recognised in the world. With content and topics tailored to your needs, the test measures your ability and range of spoken and written English. Speakers at this level can express themselves clearly on a range of subjects. As an example; using English, you would be comfortable showing visitors around a building, and you would be able to give a detailed description of your surroundings.
Many foundation and pathway university courses in the UK accept the Cambridge English First Certificate.
Cambridge English Exam: Advanced English or CAE
CAE or C1 Advanced English
This Cambridge exam tests the English skills needed for most professional and academic situations. It is similar to the FCE exam, but is for learners with a higher level of English.
The CAE/C1 Advanced English exam is written at a level above the First Certificate. The exam is split into five parts, consisting of reading, writing, use of English, listening and speaking. Each section of the exam counts as 20% towards the final mark.
The speaking part of the test is carried out with an examiner in an interview format, allowing you to create more natural conversation scenarios.
