I have the exam in one week. This is extremely useful!

[@Indigo077]

hi! Im here months later to tell you that after watching almost all of your guides while I was studying for the C1 exam, I scored 201 points and got a C2! Thank you so much for the effort you put in your videos they are really really helpful!

[@teacherphill]

Congratulations on your amazing result! I'm sure you put in a lot of work in to get ready for the test and I'm just happy that my content was helpful in the process. :)

[@danipda19]

Thanks a lot for your detailed vids Phill, I have my Speaking test tomorrow, your video couldn’t appear in a better moment. Keep it going like this! :)

[@teacherphill]

I uploaded it just for you. 😜 All the best!

Thank you teacher Phill for your advice and videos. They were of much help. I passed my C1 and you helped me a lot.

[@teacherphill]

Dear Phill, you are truly the best teacher I have come across during my learning for the exams. Your videos and website helped me so much that I wanted to say thank you. I am looking forward for more videos to even increase my English skills. Thanks for being there for us students.

[@teacherphill]

Thank you for your very kind feedback. I always try to create the best content for students and teachers and I'm not planning to stop. All the best for your exam and let me know how it went. :)

[@teacherphill]

I'm happy my video helped you. Let's hope that the results reflect that. :)

@@teacherphill I PASSED THE EXAM, I HAVE THE C1 MAN. You did help a lot considering I didn't go to any academy or anything similar, it was all on my own. You're the best Phill, I talked to some people during the exam breaks and they had watched your videos too!!!🙌🙌

[@rogerioribeirofonseca3988]

Great advices and review Phill. I don't know if you are allowed to say but in your opinion did Maude and Raphael pass the speaking test?

[@teacherphill]

You can have a look at the examiner's comments, which I've linked in the description. Their marking is the most accurate you can find.

[@sushitr4p]

I have a CEFR exam next week. Has any of you taken both C1 and C2 ? How were they? Do you have academic background?

[@teacherphill]

I'm not sure what you mean with 'CEFR exam'. Do you mean a Cambridge exam?

[@YourGirlMeg]

Eek! I did my CAE test yesterday and with the speaking portion, the assessor kept writing down time stamps when I spoke, and not for my partner. I watched your video to get an idea of what would happen because I am a native speaker and my partner is not, so that has sent me spiralling. Do you know what it means? Also thank you for the other videos. It helped a lot. I was hoping that the written part would include a review, unfortunately it did not but I wrote a great email using your tips. Thanks again

[@teacherphill]

Hi there. Don't worry about the timestamps. The interlocutor notes them down so they can keep the timing of the exam on track. It has nothing to do with your performance. :)

[@YourGirlMeg]

@@teacherphill Oh thank you. I only received a notification now, crazy! Thanks again for your help, now the dreaded task of waiting for the results😅

[@gettindizzy4782]

this is very useful!! thank you

Thank you. I'm happy you find my video helpful. :)

[@Golocalbarcelonatours]

Hello! Thanks for your useful video. How much should a student be scoring before signing up for the exam? if he or she want to pass....

[@teacherphill]

I guess you should be able to pass your practice exams (i.e. score at least 180 on the Cambridge scale on average). Everything else is really just gambling. You can have a look at my video on how to calculate your score for a little bit more information on the scoring system in Cambridge exams as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5OpaZ53j76Nrdk

Felt like part 3 was treated as a monologue instead of a discussion by the young lady initially. The young man should not have had to interject, at some point she should have asked for his opinion to complete the goal of the task. This is often an issue when people are speaking English, they are so focused on expressing their ideas that they forget that a language is used to achieve communication goals in different contexts, like discussions. I think this test is better than the IELTS because these goals are focused on, whereas I don't believe the IELTS has anything like this happening. Mostly answering questions and giving presentation style responses.

[@teacherphill]

Thank you for your comment. I think IELTS is mostly for very specific purposes like immigration or higher education. Cambridge exams, on the other hand, cater more towards general language development and are for people who might need to prove their language level for work. Both exams exist for a reason, but I agree with you that the speaking test is very different.

This second part irritates me most CAUSE THIS FREAKING ONE MINUTE IS NOT ENOUGH by the way, are you a native speaker? I can't really figure out you accent :)

[@teacherphill]

Don't worry too much about the time limit. Simply answer the two questions and speak until the examiner stops you. It's not necessary to finish, but you need to show that you can use the right language to compare the photos, structure your answer well and include good vocabulary. :)
