C1 Advanced (CAE) Crammer

Introduction

CAE exam crammer is an online course, designed for students who are thinking of taking the Cambridge Advanced exam. It consists of 22 modules and 78 exam-style exercises, and provides approximately 60 hours of study for students.

Course aims

To give students information about, coaching in and practice in all areas of the CAE exam, to enable them to be fully prepared when it comes to them taking the test. By the end of the course, students will be able to…

  • Understand the structure of the CAE exam
  • Develop strategies for answering different types of questions
  • Improve language skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking
  • Take practice tests to measure progress and areas of improvement

Exam practice

Each module concentrates on a different area of the CAE exam, giving information about the exam, tips on how to answer the questions and advice about where students often make mistakes. It then tests them on that part of the exam.

Entry and exit tests

Before beginning the course, the student is invited to take an Entry test, which consists of a complete Reading and Writing and Listening paper from the exam. At the end of the course, the student is invited to take another complete Reading and Writing and Listening paper and the student’s result is analysed by the program, giving a percentage of improvement and predicts a grade in the actual exam they take.
