I have a hunch you are going to pass the exam

[@claudiaaybar9345]

Hi Ben! I just got my results from the CAE, and I got grade A with a score of 203! 😊 Thank you so much for all your tricks and tips, watching your videos was a game changer for preparing the test! I would have never had achieved such a good result without your help. Especially because I only had a couple weeks to prepare it.😅

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Congratulations! Excellent results 👏👏👏

Hello from Greece!! I am going to sit the CAE advanced exam on Saturday morning and this helped me a lot!!

[@ablessing891]

Thanks a million for the superb video!

Hi Ben! I'm from Brazil. I've been taking preparation classes for C1 exam. It is going to be applied in June. I'm looking forward to doing it, on the other hand, these months leading up to the exam are getting me nuts. I am quite anxious. Watching your videos make me feel more relaxed. Thanks a lot!

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

That's good to know 🙂

[@user-ys8ys8lu2w]

Hi Ben...here watching your video...feeling a bit edgy thinking about tomorrow...fortunately there are your videos and your relaxed attitude coming to my rescue...finger crossed for tomorrow 🍀🤞🍀🤞

[@nelliedemshina7874]

Hello, Ben. Thank you for obvious but very useful words. It's true that sometimes people get so nervous on that day that every little detail, which went differently to what they had planned before, causes a disaster. I remember when I was taking my TKT exam (3rd Module) I got very anxious on that day because my brother, who promised to bring me to the venue, was late! Thank goodness I managed to cope with my nerves and passed the exam successfully with grade 4 (as well as previous ones). But it was such a dreadful experience! I mean when something doesn't go according to the plan) So your advice is simple but precious. Every little detail is helpful. That's true. Thank you again for your work. Best regards 🎈

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Thanks, Nellie

Hi Ben! I've been watching your videos the past few days like crazy and it's been really helpful. I'm taking the CAE exam next week and feel like am prepared but know nothing at the same time.

[@milenaperrens]

Hi Ben! Not that you care, but just wanted to let you know I passed my exam with a 196 score! Your videos really helped! I know If I had studied sooner I would have done better. Thank you!

[@colthrane]

Whenever I watch your videos I become very optimistic with my possible results. Then, a little bit later, I think more and I'm not quite right again. LOL. There is a problem with people that are self taught englis speakers (maybe you can think of anything specific for this public): sometimes we do know advanced constructions and formulations, and we know how to use some complex grammar but we fail at the basic things. Like myself. I always get wrong the most basic things. I'm preparing to take Linguaskill Business test and I'm worried because it is a adaptative test therefore I can get wrong the basics and be leveled below the skills I already have (if the AI is not fair enough. I'm also data scientist, so this kind of AI worries me a lot) Do you have any word to us that learned by ourselves and fail in the most basic grammar? Thanks a lot and keep the wonderful jog (editing: I've meant 'JOB') you do!

[@Meg-bj4rq]

Hi Ben, thanks for the tips. I can recall once in an exam I talked to another candidate that literally said to me that she had forgotten everything. It made me feel so miserable. Her pessimism was so contagious. I was well prepared but I felt so angry with myself for being influenced by a stranger. Perhaps, the problem was lack of rest.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Oh dear... That was bad luck. You spoke to the wrong candidate!

[@Meg-bj4rq]

@@tothepointenglishwithben. Yes, I think so. In hindsight, it taught me a lesson: don't look to others for approval because I tend to be a pleaser, and it doesn't work like that

[@EmilijaCatoIrena]

Hi Ben! I have my CAE exam in 3 days and your videos have helped me a lot! Thank you!

I have my exam tomorrow and I don’t know if I’ll be able to fall asleep, I’m so nervous! Watching your videos makes me more optimistic though, I feel like I can do it

[@franciscopontesvelasco4315]

I never had any breakfast for running, in fact I got the habit of not having any breakfast. I think sometimes its easier said than done, if you're going to take an exam and you are a nervous wreck u might not be abke to sleep, the less you think about the exam the better. That's my humble opinion

[@nheenglish3081]

Hello, I have a question to ask. Could you add some information on the passive voice in essays, reports, and proposals? when is it advisable to use it? Or is it better to avoid it mainly? Thank you!

[@bernardodiaz9428]

Hey Ben, tomorrow I´m having my CAE exam! despite having found you 4 days ago, I´ve been watching your content non-stop and you´ve been nothing but most helpful! I really hope to pass my exam with flying colours. P.D This summer, I´ll get into your cpe course so as to be well-prepared

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

I'm glad you found my videos helpful. Good luck with the exam today!

[@bernardodiaz9428]

Hey ben, I wanted to tell you, in writing I really think I excelled at it, on speaking I spoke vert well with really advanced vocabulary however, in part 2 I didn't do it well. Then listening it was fine, maybe a B I think. Finally in reading pretty good however, I wasn't able to transcribe part 1. Sh1t. Afterwards, they told me that they would send a report to Cambridge that I wasn't able to transcribe part 1 due to the time, and that maybe they'd consider what I wrote on the exercise paper. I'm praying that happen! Now I'll rest and in a few weeks, getting into c2 prof with your couse! I'm excited to be your new student!!

[@Agnieszka_Platek]

Hello Ben, it's good to see you again. I like your videos very much. My exam will take place on July (C1). I wonder if my English, I mean - understanding - is on this level. I've listened to you very carefully and was able to understand every single word except only one - "imminent", which I've obviously checked in the dictionary. Why have I said all these things? What is the English level you speak while recording the videos? Keep making videos and wish you all the best. ☺

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

I speak relatively naturally in my videos

[@verufibichova369]

Im so nervous at this point, i’m starting to freak out😭 (oct 28)

[@mub9075]

Great video! My tip is to listen to something you enjoy in the language before the exam to signal to the brain that we are now operating in this it. I have found this helpful in retreaving more diverse expressions from the memory easier when the brain is already warmed up to the language.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Nice tip!

[@martinjokes1610]

[@Marina-uw3ll]

Excellent video🎉🎉🎉🎉 I enjoyed it while listening. As well as other your videos on this channel. I shall have the CPE on the 4th of March and I stay focused together with your videos 👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝🤝

[@Jon1s]

Yo how did the exam go?

[@Marina-uw3ll]

@@Jon1s I still don’t know, as results shall be available from 18 April, I suppose that by the end of April I shall know the scoring breakdown as per each part of the exam. The most “curious” part for me was writing, as I didn’t have have enough time to count words and definitely got beyond the required 320 words.. perhaps, theme of essay was one of my favourite: I had chosen “Northanger Abbey” for I read this novel.

[@Jon1s]

@@Marina-uw3ll Essays written based on novels are like a good choice for the CPE

[@Jon1s]

@@Marina-uw3ll My cpe exams are on 13 May. I guess I'll be studying all Easter

[@Marina-uw3ll]

@@Jon1s obviously, I like to read Austen’s novels overall. And that essay on C2 exam wrote quickly and with great pleasure. With second essay as compulsory task had more difficulties and it took me much time to analyse, evaluate, compare two text extracts. Also, it shouldn’t be forgotten that there are others parts of C2 exam, that contain enough “hidden pitfalls”. In any case, I already took decision for myself: if I”l strike lucky and get CPE at least with grade C - everything is PERFECT. But🧐 if only I get C1 level instead of desired C2 - I”ll go to this exam again in June 🤞💪.

[@ahmedayari7777]

Please can you read for us a story like “agnes grey ‘’ by anne brontï 🙏

[@nikolaookgeniaal1469]

Thanks for your tips. I listened to you and helped my son who is 14 with his FIRST exam. He got C1 results because of your tips. Only 2 points above B2 but still really happy. He has never been in an english speaking country. The best thing we did on the day of the exam was having a hotel room to avoid 2 hours in the car. Thanks again.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

That's great! Well done to both of you!
