EXAMS - Introduction

English Language Exams

There are many different exams you can take. They each have advantages and disadvantages and it can be difficult to know which are the best for you. You can discuss this with the Director of Studies at King's School before deciding which one to take. The right exam for you will depend on your level, your English needs, and the dates of your course.

The most widely recognised British exams are the Cambridge First Certificate, Cambridge Advanced Certificate and IELTS, the International English Language Testing System. We offer specialised IELTS courses, and classes to prepare you for the Cambridge exams as part of the General Intensive course.

Why take examinations?

Taking a recognised public examination has a number of advantages:

• It helps you see what your level is
• It helps other people see what your level is
• It helps you organise your studies as you prepare for the exam
• It helps give you motivation to study hard!

IELTS and the Cambridge exams are the most popular exams with our students. The IELTS exam is offered frequently here at King's School. The Cambridge exams are offered three or four times a year by the Oxford Open Centre.
