@@petermuller6658 you have been informed wrong. I asked the same question right after I took it at a qualified center and they said that yes, if you take the CAE (C1) and score at grade A you demonstrate C2 level but your certificate doesn't become a CPE (C2)

@@seowl1059 really? I thought Ive read this on a Cambridge website, but ok, I guess C1 is good enough :) I'll have my exam tomorrow, let's see if one day of studying is enough for me too 😁

[@mariaalessandrasartore]

I enjoyed your video! Just decided to take a weekend off from all the tasks I have been concentrated on. It is also possible to have an "efficient" break...I'm due to listen to videos and keep my english fresh in vocabulary eventhough I don't practise the exam parts. You learn something having fun, adding english during your favourite activities to wind down! Thank you for your advices! Having my CAE on next 10th and 13th May.

Hello Ben! Practical and insightful piece of advice. Attitude, Organization, Focused, Consistency and short breaks to avoid burning out. Totally agree!

That's it, Katty! (I should've tried to make another acronym 😆)

[@Ricardo-xg6gx]

Hi Ben, It's always a pleasure to hear your pieces of advice about that tricky task of passing this kind of exam, although fortunately, I don't need to overcome this test; I have a huge experience in other fields similar to the mentioned exam, and I can assure that the last point (take a break) isn't often taken seriously, and this is a big mistake that can drive us to fail when we probably didn't deserve it. As always, thank you for giving me the possibility to comment, greetings.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Thanks for your comment, Ricardo.

I will be taking the paper-based exam this next weekend. I am fairly confident in my listening/reading/speaking skills but I don't know how I feel about the writing part: I have a full-time job so I haven't really had the chance to "practice" writing my ideas down on a paper like I used to. Writing on my phone/computer is way easier for me nowadays and I regret not choosing the computer-based exam. Do you have any ideas or advice I could follow? Thank you so much.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

You need to find time to practise some writing tasks. It's the only way to improve

I’m having my CPE in June, I’m preparing with a private tutor.

[@elizabethherondale8071]

I'm taking the FCE exam (computer-based) this Saturday. I'm feeling so stressed about it, especially about the Writing and Speaking part. However, I'm afraid of failing UoE, Reading and Listening too, even I'm pretty confident of these. Any tips on what to do the night before the exam? Thank you.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Get 8 hours sleep. Visualise each part of the exam in your head and how you're going to approach it. Try to relax... it's perfectly normal to feel stressed and it can help you to focus. But, too much stress can have a negative effect. Take deep breaths and remember... it's just an exam! You'll be fine, I'm sure 💪 Let me know how it goes! 🕺

[@milagrost4114]

heyy Elizabeth! how did your exam went?

[@LaPebbles]

.. I truly made the mistake of being too cocky. ive been trying the write and imrpove alot. Because of Covid 19 I have never done a proper exam which is terrifying at itself. I did pass the placement test easily but, writing part will be my downfall.

[@amayagz1933]

As a CPE student, I just came across this video and I have to say that I totally agree with you. However, could you be more specific? I mean, in the end, we are talking about exam papers to perfect the technique or to know the format very well, so...How many CPE exam papers would you recommend before sitting the exam? 10, 20, 30...? Many thanks.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

I can't give an exact number of sample exam papers you should do before the exam... do as many as you can until you feel comfortable with each part and you've worked out a strategy.

[@amayagz1933]

Thanks a lot.

[@Kellychuiyi]

how can we plan our own strategy? like one day study for vocabulary another day for writing?

[@amayagz1933]

@@Kellychuiyi I don't know. I wish I had a strategy. The key is doing as many past exam papers as you can. Don't you think so?
