Cum promovezi examenele Cambridge ? Cu calificativ maxim, de preferat.


In primul rand ai nevoie un curs de pregatire pentru examenele Cambridge de minim 2 luni pentru a te familiariza cu tipurile de teste de la examen.


In al doilea rand:

• Time management- cel mai important factor la examenele Cambridge. Trebuie sa fii constient ca e posibil sa nu termini toate testele (cele de Reading, mai ales). Deci planifica bine timpul pentru toate testele. AICI si AICI gasesti structura examenelor. Daca nu ai timp sa treci prin toate testele, nu lasa nimic nerezolvat, incercuieste sau completeaza ceva, orice, pentru a nu fi depunctat mai mult. (la cursurile de pregatire organizam simulari ale examenelor Cambridge si insistam pe time management). 
• Focus, Focus, Focus- citeste cu mare atentie ce trebuie sa faci (the tasks). Nu ai cum sa rezolvi corect testele daca nu stii/intelegi ce trebuie sa faci. Poti intelege pe parcurs (in timp ce citesti sau asculti), dar poti pierde timp valoros.

Invata engleza/ The Cambridge FCE test

START ENGLISH. Watch, listen, speak. Tips and tricks about English.

Presently I will offer some information about the Reading paper for the First Certificate in English exam. In my article Sample Test for the FCE Exam I have introduced tasks for the Use of English test, the Writing test and the Speaking test.

For completing the Reading Paper the time frame is an hour. The task consists of three parts.

The Reading Paper part 1 consists of a multiple choice test. So, there will be a rather long text, which you will have to read carefully and try to circle the right choice. Technically speaking this is an easier task compared with the Listening and (maybe) the Speaking papers, but you need a lot of attention for details. Many students make mistakes about this because they do not mind the details.

Firstly read the questions (they are usually 8). Frequently the gist of the task is in the question. And this applies to all tasks. You cannot do right if you do not know/understand what you are supposed to do. It is very simple in theory, but in practice students sometimes do not really pay attention and lose valuable points.

Read also the alternatives and if you decide to circle something, find reasons in the text to do so. And this is the difficult part about this text because the alternatives are often confusing and you might think that more than one is appropriate. Students seldom find two alternatives that can match the context. How to choose between them?
Scan the fragment which the task is about and find tips in the text in favor of your choice. Chose the alternative for which there are more reasons.

I could not help but noticing another type of mistake; imaginative students circle the wrong answer because they think it is a possible continuation of the fragment/text. So, do not forget, you circle something because of hard evidence in the text and not because you feel it might be alright.

As a conclusion, I need to remind you to pay attention to the time for this paper: you must complete all 3 parts of the Reading Paper in an hour, so time management is of utmost importance!
