How to decide if your students are ready to take an exam 2 This guide offers practical advice and resources to help teachers decide if a student is ready to take a Cambridge English Qualification. From pretesting and sample papers, to tips on informing parents that their child is exam ready, we have a range of useful information and revision resources available. Deciding if your students are exam ready Here are a few ways to help decide whether your students are ready for their exams. Sample papers Check if your students are ready to register for an exam with sample papers. They can help to build your students' confidence by familiarising them with the exam format and also identify which areas a student needs more practice in. For example, if students need to improve their listening skills, teachers can find free listening resources on our website. Most of our exams are available to take as either paper-based or computer-based exams, and we have free sample tests for both. As the formats of these exams are the same you can use both to help your students prepare, no matter which type of exam they are taking.

Here are a couple of ways to communicate to parents that you believe their child is ready to take an exam: y y share your student’s sample paper results with their parents – the sample paper is a great way to demonstrate a student’s readiness to take the exam y y use the letter template to inform parents their child is ready to take an exam: cambridgeenglish.org/registering-for-the-exam If you believe a student is not ready for the exam, it helps to take parents through an improvement plan, so they can see their child’s progress. How to register your students for an exam Find an exam centre It’s time to find an authorised exam centre and register your students. Your local exam centre will tell you how to make the practical arrangements.
