First of all, it\u2019s important to point out<\/strong><\/em><\/span> that the computer-based exam isn\u2019t any easier than the written exam. They are identical in difficulty and time, all the different sections are the same, and you will receive the same qualification at the end.<\/p>\n However, other than just being able to leave your pens and pencils at home, there are still some important differences you should know about:<\/p>\n With the written exams, the closing date for registration is at least four weeks before the date of the exam. However, you can register for the computer-based ones just three weeks beforehand, giving you more time to make sure you feel ready for it.<\/span><\/p>\n What are the advantages of the computer-based exam?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The majority of our students comment at the beginning of our exam preparation courses that they haven\u2019t used a pen and pencil since school! So, apart from being able to use a more familiar computer screen and keyboard, what others advantages do these new exams have?<\/p>\n Tips and Advice<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Whether you\u2019ve decided to do the computer-based exam or the paper one, preparation is the most important thing. Here are a few things you can do to help, so you know what to expect on the day.<\/p>\n Use the computer-based practice exams<\/strong> for First<\/a>, Advanced<\/a>, and Proficiency<\/a> on the Cambridge English website so you can get used to all of the features and differences from the written version.<\/p>\n For more practice, ask your teacher for copies of paper practice exams, and then cut up the question papers<\/strong> so you can physically put the answers into the gaps, just like you do on the computer. This is particularly useful for Reading Part 6 (First and Proficiency, Part 7 Advanced), with the missing sentences or paragraphs. Above all, finding a good exam preparation class<\/strong> will give you the best chance of receiving a high grade. Oxford House has a range of classes<\/a> to suit your needs and availability, and their experienced teachers will prepare and guide you through everything you need to do to succeed on the big day.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Resources<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n For more information regarding Cambridge English exams, please see the Cambridge English website<\/a>.<\/p>\n Discover some top exam day tips in our useful infographic<\/a>.<\/p>\n Find out how to get top marks in your Speaking paper in our article: How to ace the Cambridge speaking exam<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
