It has been produced by Cambridge English Language Assessment, the world leader for assessing English language skills. Over 4 million people take Cambridge English exams every year. It tests reading and listening skills, as well as the use of English – which includes using grammar and vocabulary accurately and appropriately. It is an adaptive test – which means each test adapts to the individual student, and each student will get different questions according to their level of English. Applicants normally complete the test within 45-60 minutes.
