one question, how do you get this marks for each part of the test? I mean the maximum you can get in the use of English part and reading altogether is 78 points, so how come you've got 203 on the reading and 210 on the use of English ??? thanks for your help.

I'm not sure where you got information about 78 points. The maximum score you can get for each part is 210 points. You can check it on the official website: www.cambridgeenglish.org/exams-and-tests/advanced/results/ This system hasn't been changed yet. :) Maybe you are confusing the number of questions with the number of points? But the Reading part and Use of English were merged and there is one common part now - Reading and Use of English. It contains 56 questions. It's the new format which was introduced in 2015.

Congratulations! I am so happy for you 🤗 That's the best news for my morning)

​@@JuliasEnglishNotes Thank you. Happy to make you happy!

How it went?

Have mine tomorrow 🤣

@@Guanehbeats good luck

@@Guanehbeats how did it go

@@Visnetter passed :) it wasnt as difficult as I thought, tricky but not impossible

Hello, Monica! I so understand your feelings. I was afraid, too. You have a lot of time to prepare, that's cool. And since you already have some experience, I guess it'll be much easier for you)) Anyway, I wish you good luck and will keep fingers crossed for you ;)

@@spirox47 Hello, in the end I didn't take it in June but I took it in September. And yes, I passed with the overall score of 193. I somehow managed to get 210 from the Listening part. My Reading was the lowest (172), but I knew it will be the worst part... reading is not my cup of tea. The rest wasn't bad. Use of English - 196, Writing - 193, Speaking - 196. I have to say that it was the easiest thing I have ever taken. After aaaaall those mock test and preparation, this was easy peasy.

yeah, it's better to use "than"))

Hi) Check carefully the time when your exam starts :) When I took the exam, there was a guy who confused the time of the written part with the time of the speaking one and got late. He wasn't allowed to join the exam room. Such a silly mistake and so much trouble (( And the best advice I can give, be calm during the exam. Relax and take it easy ;) Good luck to you!

Good luck to you! :)

Riccardo Lanni did you pass ?

Thank you! Good luck to you too)

Have you any tips for me to pass the exam?

Hi) Thank you for your story. Yes, you're right, 2 years is enough, and as I can judge by your message, your English is fantastic, but you definitely should continue working hard just because CAE might be tricky)) I had to take my first CAE tasks (not the whole exam, but separate parts and tasks from it) while I was doing my master's, and that's how I got interested in the exam. So I had started doing sample CAE tests long before my level was sufficient, and it was a nightmare to deal with them. I knew that I was ready for the exam when I started feeling comfortable while doing sample tests, even if they were pretty hard. It wasn't stressful anymore and the number of the correct answers was usually more than 85%. That's when I realized that my level was finally Advanced))

I understand your feelings. I was terrified before the exam too. You definitely should stay concentrated, but it's gonna be fine after all. The atmosphere of the exam is calm and friendly. Good luck! 😊

Hi there! So, how did it go?)

@@JuliasEnglishNotes with hope to pass... I found listening highly difficult. However, I can just wait for the results 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

@@alejandromg8502 Ok, fingers crossed! :)

Do you have a reason to take CPE? Do you need it for something? I can't say whether CPE is much harder than CAE. You can check sample tests just to see if you can manage it: www.cambridgeenglish.org/exams-and-tests/proficiency/preparation/ Also note that grade C is given if you score 200-212 on CPE, which is actually grade A when you take CAE. You can check the relationship between the grades and levels here: www.cambridgeenglish.org/exams-and-tests/proficiency/results/

CPE in my opinion is way harder.

Hello) Well, it's ok to be nervous, don't fight it too much. Otherwise, you will get more stressed about the fact that you can't calm down 😀 Just remember that nothing bad is going to happen to you there. The whole atmosphere of the exam is friendly. You enter the room, sit down and start doing the test as usual, as you did at home. Nothing extraordinary really. It's not an execution after all, just an exam 😀

Thanks for your advices , they have really helped me and I have been studying

@@dimpho_dimpho That's great! Good luck to you 🤗

Hi) It was easier than some of them. I was really pleased with my tasks on the exam.

Некоторые есть в бумажном варианте, но готовилась я все равно по электронным носителям) мне так было удобнее)

Спасибо!:)

Hi) Please, check the materials in the description box. There should be some tests too)

Try examenglish.com

I think that the Writing part is easier because you can prepare it beforehand. I mean, you can create one pattern, use the same opening phrases, structures and so on and just change the ideas in your piece of writing. You can practice all the formats this way (essay, letter, etc.). Speaking was the most difficult part for me. I didn't practice it and I improvised during the exam. The result was not that great, but still good. So I can say that it's pretty feasible. Good luck to you! :)

It is normal to feel nervous before the exam. I was nervous, too. But when the exam started, I relaxed. It's not as scary as it seems :) I wish you good luck!

Hello! I prepared 2,5 months and spent about 2-3 hours a day to study. I decided that it was my number one priority and I dedicated all of my free time to the exam. I studied grammar, vocabulary and did practice tests every day (not the whole test but at least 1 section of it per day). And then I dedicated several days to take the whole test at once and check how well I was dealing with it. I think that 3 months is enough to prepare for this exam if you don't waste your time and use it wisely ;) Good luck with your studies! :)

@@JuliasEnglishNotes Awesome. Thank you!

D Kusumaningputri like i started 2 days ago and the cae exam is tomorrow. My mom will execute me if i fail but uh good luck you‘l manage it. :)

@@veronikaryzhova814 Good luck! ;)

@@veronikaryzhova814 and how did you do? You passed?

Thank you! Unfortunately, not. I don't know much about FCE, and I don't have any resources for this exam.

Well, I do not know how to calculate them either)) Sorry.

Thank you)

Hello) Could you please specify what task you mean and what the sentence was exactly?

@@JuliasEnglishNotes thank you for your answer🤗

Hi) As far as I know, the 2015-year format is still valid. It hasn't changed yet. :)

It took me 2 years to increase my level from Intermediate to Advanced but I was afraid to take the test and postoponed it for the next 4 years. I studied all that time with breaks, and when I decided that I shouldn't waste any more time, I started preparing for the exam itself, which took me 3 months. All in all, I studied a lot but didn't do it regularly or sytematically.

How did it go?)

Hello) you can find the books in the description box under the video. I attached all the materials I used to prepare.

@@JuliasEnglishNotes Thank u so much😊❤

I think you can use CPE books to improve your level in general, but for practice, I would still recommend using CAE tests, because the tasks are quite unique for each exam, and you don't want any surprises )))

FeDe RiCa - Sorry to be a nuisance, but if you keep using ADVICES (uncountable), should quickly cease to be interested in CPE. I hope I helped you!

Hey, there) As far as I know, Cambridge Assessment English contains a lot of exams including CAE. It's just the name of the whole big project. You can read all about it on their official website: www.cambridgeenglish.org/

Julia's English Notes Thanks!

Hi) I attached all the materials I used in the description of this video. Check them out. There are special books for the CAE exam as well as grammar books.

Hi) It depends on how much time you will dedicate to your studies. If you work hard enough during this period, you have pretty good chances to get prepared. So it's all up to you! ;)

@@JuliasEnglishNotes Thank You So Much for your motivation✨, I will💗

It was the same for me. This strategy with reading the whole text and then answering the questions didn't work for me. So I chose a different one. I read the first question, then I read the first paragraph looking for the answer right away. The questions and paragraphs usually correlate or at least they are set in the chronological order, so the answer to the first question is usually at the beginning of the test, in the first or second paragraph. Anyway, the answer to the second question cannot appear before the first one. There's usually a strict order. This strategy worked for me much better. You can try it too or find your own one. As for writing, for me it was the easiest part because I prepared a sample piece of writing for each genre, so I changed the ideas during the test but used the same structure and opening and closing phrases. I also read and tried to memorise several sample pieces. It helped to understand the logic of how it all should be organised and what will be expected from me. And Use of English takes a lot of practice. There are no special techniques. You just need to learn the grammar and do a lot of practice tests.

@@JuliasEnglishNotes thank you so much for the advice. I've using trying different tests like reading, use of English and listening. The ones I've still not tried out are speaking and writing. I still need to learn different writing forms for that. But I'll be sure to try your strategy for the reading part, I hope it helps! For the use of English part I've still got a long way to go, I still need to improve my English.

@@kwon_gidi1574 I wish you good luck and patience. Just don't give up. It all depends on you now. You have plenty of time but use it wisely. If you study hard enough and do it consistently, I'm sure you will succeed! 😉

@@JuliasEnglishNotes Hii! I came back here to say that I scored a total of 202 out of 210 in the exam. I always got super anxious whenever I thought about it, but nonetheless, with constant exercise, endurance and patience, I was able to calmly go through everything. I also want to thank you because your tips and positivity were immensely helpful and gave me a significant head start. Thank you! ❤

@@kwon_gidi1574 Wow, that's an amazing result! Congratulations! 🥳 I'm glad that I was able to help at least a little tiny bit. I know how stressful it is, even though the examiners and the whole atmosphere of the exam are extremely friendly. You did a great job!

For me, they are equally difficult) However, I would choose a proposal, I guess. Anyway, you can prepare a sample answer for each type beforehand, memorise the structure and then just use that layout and change the ideas/words/phrases there. It's the easiest way to do it right. That's how I prepared for the writing part)

I studied a lot :) I used these books to improve my overall level and get ready for the test: Upstream Upper-Intermediate and Upstream Advanced, Gold CAE 2015, Complete Advanced, Objective CAE. For grammar I used these books: English Grammar in Use, Advanced Grammar in Use, Cambridge Grammar for CAE and CPE. Also, I watched a lot of movies and TV series and learned new phrases and expressions from there. It helped a lot.

Me too😂😂

I wish you guys luck! It's ok to be scared, but try to relax. Everything's going to be fine ;)

Finally,I have finished the exam😆

Well, I don't see a reason to feel bad about your results. Exams are tricky and sometimes you can perform better doing practice tests rather than the exam itself. It's totally fine. You got the highest grade, and your English is amazing. Even if the result of the remark is positive and you get a bigger Writing score after it, your grade will not be higher than A)) Of course, it's your decision, and if you feel that your Writing part was good, you can try to ask for a remark. It's just that I wouldn't do it if I were you))

@@JuliasEnglishNotes Thank you

Ciao il tuo risultato e' davvero incredibile..complimenti difficile fare punteggi cosi alti in un esame cosi complesso..Per quanto tempo hai studiato inglese e sopratutto vivi in Inghilterra o hai vissuto li per un po' di tempo ?

Use of English tests your grammar so you should work on that. Check the book Cambridge Grammar for CAE and CPE. It contains all the necessary grammar rules together with exercises and practice tests. I can also recommend Advanced Grammar in Use. It will improve your grammar in general. Good luck!

Hi) How much time do you have before the exam? Try practising these parts as much as possible then.

@@JuliasEnglishNotes thanks for replying! ❤️ If i can apply to an English institute then I'll have like a year to do the exam (if all this situation gets better obviously).

Hi) They will give you all necessary papers before the exam, so don't worry. You will know for sure what to give them.

Hi) I was 29.

Well, that's really tough and I had problems with this too. I would recommend doing more listening tests then and especially the task you have trouble with. I did it this way: 1. listened to the text and chose the answers; 2. checked the answers; 3. read the text carefully and tried to analyze my mstakes; 3. listened to the text once more. It helped)

@@JuliasEnglishNotes thank you.

Hi) It depends on your current level and how much time you are ready to spend on your studies. If you are hard-working and dedicated, you'll have a great chance to get a high grade. Have you tried to do practice tests? What's your usual score?

@@JuliasEnglishNotes ok ma'am. I am new to this and have not tried any practice tests. Would you suggest where I can get free test to know my level?

@@sureshkrishnanr4095 There are sample tests on the official website: www.cambridgeenglish.org/exams-and-tests/advanced/preparation/ Also please check the description under this video. I attached all the materials I used, including sample tests.

@@JuliasEnglishNotes ok ma'am. I will look into it. Thank you for your support 🙏

Hi) The certificate is on C1 but it's stated in it that my level is C2. It looks like this joxi.ru/V2Vaaq5fdbY89m.jpg

Well, I took the exam in November 2018, it was totally fine. They took our phones away, though, cause you can't have any electronic items, including smart watches. They send an email with the rules prior to the exam, and there is a list of the things which are prohibited. So you will know for sure :)

Hi) no more tips, just good luck to you 🤗it's going to be great!

@@JuliasEnglishNotes thx

Hey there)

Thank you. It's so nice to hear)) I'm from Russia)

It's really not, I don't think you heard native English accent. I could hear the russian accent from the very first minute of the video.

@@DemonicDream6 I can also hear my Russian accent, and I don't see anything bad in it. Anyway, the fact that someone thought that my accent was similar to a native speaker doesn't really mean that they haven't heard the real native English accent. :)

@@JuliasEnglishNotes Hello, I didn't write in my comment that there is something wrong with your Russian accent, I only said that in my opinion it's not similar to any native accent - and since you passed your CAE exam you probably know it. So please take no offense, it was not by any means a hate comment towards you. Have a nice day and congrats on your exam :)

@@DemonicDream6 Hi) It seems I overreacted. Thank you :) Have a nice day too)

I guess you can take this exam as many times as you want as long as you pay for it)

@@JuliasEnglishNotes oh I see, thank you!
