Cambridge/Toefl

I just had this fabulous idea. Many of our members are under 15 and have no idea of the importance of these exams : Cambridge and Toefl.

TOEFL

Most widely accepted, most popular and most convenient choice.

The TOEFL® test is the most widely respectedEnglish-language test in the world, recognized by more than 9,000 colleges, universities and agencies in more than 130 countries, including Australia, Canada, the U.K. and the United States. Wherever you want to study, the TOEFL test can help you get there.

More Convenient
You can take the TOEFL test at your choice of more than 4,500 conveniently located test sites in more than 165 countries worldwide. You also save time and money since the entire test is given in one day, rather than coming back a second day like some other tests.

Measures Academic Skills
The TOEFL test helps prove you have the English skills you will actually use in an academic classroom. In the test, you may read a passage from a textbook and listen to a lecture and then speak or write in response, just like you would in a classroom. Because the test is composed of 100% academic questions and tasks, many universities consider it the most appropriate test to use when making admissions decisions.

Rates Speaking More Fairly
Sure, you can take a test with a Speaking interview, but what if your interviewer has a bad dayand rates you lower than you deserve? With the TOEFL test, there's no doubt your score is more objective and reliable, because Speaking responses are recorded and evaluated by three to six ETS raters rather than only one rater from a local testing site.

Scores Help You Stand Out
TOEFL test scores help you stand out because of the TOEFL test's reputation for quality, fairness and 100% academic content. It is the most widely accepted English-language test in the world, including more than 9,000 colleges, universities, agencies and other institutions in 130 countries. And that list includes the top 100 universities in the world.
By sending TOEFL scores to your selected university, you will be proving that you are ready foracademic success.

Cambridge English exams by CEFR level
The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is an international standard for describing language ability. It is used around the world to describe learners’ language skills. The CEFR has six levels – from A1 for the most basic beginner to C2 for the very highest level of ability. Our English language exams are listed below according to the CEFR level they are aimed at.

In may, i'll have my C1 taken. :) Hope i helped. kbye.

I learned a lot of time, more than an year for Cambridge, but then I gave up. How stupid. :))

Oh, I'm looking forward to getting my Cambridge Diploma. (: I'll take the CAE first, then I'll prepare myself for the CPE. And the price is quite okay. I mean, 150 euros is affordable...if I starve 3 months because I can't pay for this exam with the student aid we get. Anyway, getting a certificate in English will open up a few more doors for you in the future, so I'm willing to get my CPE certificate. To those who are taking the exam this year, good luck!

Personally I didn't know about Toefl, only About Campbridge and Ielts.
My teacher always tell us how important is this exam, but i don't really care because i'm not interested in none of them.
