Cambridge Exams

Cambridge exams correspond to the CEFR levels which means that you can sit exams from A1 to C2. In European countries, students start to do these exams in their childhood - these are YLE (Young Learners) exams (Starters, Movers, Flyers) for primary school students. This way, children get used to participating in such exams and feel less stressed when they become older and prepare for higher-level examinations, also by this time they have become familiar with the format of the exams - multiple choice questions, true/false tasks etc.

PET (Preliminary English Test) corresponds to B1 and is a popular test among teenagers since it demonstrates the fact that a student has mastered the basics of the English language. The preparation for this test is a good foundation for the first serious test - First Certificate in English (FCE), В2 level, due to the fact that the structure of these tests is similar.
