HOW DO I PREPARE
FOR MY EXAM?

Practice doesn’t make perfect.
Only perfect practice makes perfect.

Participate in our exam preparation courses

As an authorised Cambridge Preparation Centre, we offer several courses to prepare you for the Cambridge English Exam.

You can choose our weekly Exam Training, which helps you fully understand all components of the Cambridge exam and bring your English language skills to a higher level. A skilled trainer shares all ins and outs of the exam and guides you through the content. The course consists of 10 lessons of 2,5hrs. In a few months, you will feel confident going into the exam, and you will have made some learning friends who are on the same journey.

Also, we offer a 1-day Cambridge Crash Course, an intensive course that is intended for candidates who have prepared via self-study and/or want to give their exam preparation an extra boost. This course guides you through the exam format and teaches you important exam tips and tricks.

Prepare via self-study

It is possible to practise for the exam via self-study. However, you will need a firm intrinsic motivation to make sure you are fully familiar with all parts of the exam.

We have listed a few links to websites that can help you prepare for the exam:

Furthermore, we can recommend the following titles from Cambridge University Press.

As much English as you can fit into your life!
The best way to practise a language is by using it as much as possible. The more you hear, see, speak and write English, the better prepared you will be for the exam. Try to make English a part of your daily life. Listen to podcasts, read books/articles in English and/or watch English shows (preferably without subtitles), etc. Make sure it’s material you enjoy. It’s about the language, but it does not need to be boring. In fact, you learn more when you are having fun!

Choose the right level for you
By choosing the right level you will get the best result that is within your abilities. You can ‘Test your English’ via a free test offered at the official Cambridge English website.
