We have exams for:
English Medium and Swahili Medium
We have big packages of Exams such as:
The exams focus on common real life topics and situations, and use natural English, both oral and written, therefore candidates need to be exposed to this kind of language. It means that L2 should be used as much as possible in the classroom and focuses the learning on these areas. Of course, it is not actually necessary for students to sit the exam; you can make sure your teaching includes all the skills and similar activities to the ones that appear in the exams without entering a single candidate.
In spite of the shortage of reasons given by Cambridge, there are some advantages of doing these tests. The first is that the tests assess all four skills. This means that learners need plenty of practice in these skills before doing the tests.
Time management is one of the key things to observe when sitting for your exams. It helps you to tackle all the questions and double-check your answers for your best performance. Therefore, it would be wise to share your time amongst all the questions you tested when you get into the exam room.
Doing past exam papers can train you to manage your exam time well. All you need to do is to time yourself as you go through them. Imagine it is a school exam you are doing and distribute the time allocated amongst all the questions. Check if you have handled all the questions before time elapses. If you have, the better, but if you haven’t, work on that.
