Hi everybody,

I’d like to prepare for Cambridge exams CAE and I was wondering how long I should study before the exam starts. Btw,I am going to study by myself at home and I will use this book: CAE testbuilder(I heard this book is really good).Could you just tell me approximately-weeks,months?
And another question,how can I test my english level?
Thank you all

Hi Dolly,

It’s difficult to say how long you will have to study before you can pass CAE as this depends on your command of the English language. To test your level you can take a TOEIC test and if your score is above 750 you will probably pass CAE.[YSaerTTEW443543]

TOEIC listening, question-response: What did you learn at the seminar last night?[YSaerTTEW443543]

Hi Dolly,

There are lots of free tests available on the web. Here are some links (although I am note sure if I am allowed to post urls here):

I am myself preparing the CAE for the December session. I started a couple of weeks ago by doing grammar and vocabulary exercises on the web: the ones from here, but also from another website called nonstopenglish. I have borrowed a grammar book from the library and am revising all the basics of the English grammar (can’t be bad). You can also do the prep online with floe-joe, where they have good exercises as well, particularly for the writing test. They also have a forum for students where you can get some info and chat with other CAE students.

I haven’t bought any book yet because I don’t have any money just now but have noted a couple of self study books I intend to acquire as soon as I can.

You also have to think about how much time you can spend. I have given myself 2 hours every 2 days when I come back from work and about 3 hours at the weekend. I try to do study as much as can, during my lunch break at work or on the bus…). I also do the SAT prep exercises in here ton improve my vocabulary. And of course, I read a lot, paying a bit more attention to the spelling, I watch telly, listen to the radio and speak as much as possible.

Hope this helps!

Good luck
