This week (on Wednesday 25 and Thursday 26 February) you will receive your results for the mock CAE exam and I will be speaking to all of you individually about your progress on the course, your current situation and the best way to proceed.
In order to be recommended to sit the exam at CSIM in June, you will require a pass mark of 65% and a good result in all papers as a firm demonstration of your readiness. The pass mark in the real exam is 60%, so the 65% benchmark allows a 'margin of error', taking in account the possible effect of nerves on the day of the real exam.
In the case that you are recommended to sit the exam, you will be sent all the registration instructions and details of the exam by email. The registration period runs from 2 - 18 March.
If you are not recommended to sit the exam at CSIM in June, one possible alternative would be to register for the exam later in the year at the British Council, who run sessions year-round. Obviously you are free to take the exam anywhere and anytime you choose, but considering that the registration fee is around 190€, it would seem unwise to attempt the exam before you are fully prepared, confident and genuinely able to pass!
If you have any questions about this, please get in touch.
