Be your best in the CAE Speaking exam!

"This is the sort of resource I have been looking for. Clear and simple as well as assertive. I couldn't possibly be more grateful for your help. I'm sure CAE Speaking Success will get all students through the exam."

-Mabel, Argentina

Are you about to have your spoken English assessed for CAE?

Going into an oral exam can be a terrifying prospect. What if you talk too much? What if you say too little? What if you say the wrong thing? Worst of all, what happens if your mind goes blank and you dry up completely?

The last thing you want is to come out of the exam room feeling disappointed with your performance and frustrated that you failed to show the examiner your true capabilities in Spoken English.

We don't want that to happen either! That's why we've created a complete preparation package for Paper 4 of the CAE exam. It's called

CAE Speaking Success!

and it shows you everything you need to do to perform at your absolute best.



"What an amazing job! Congratulations to everyone who worked on it. I'm sure it can make the difference between a bare pass and a high pass in the interview."

-Polyanna, Greece

We're not going to pretend passing the CAE Speaking exam is easy. It's a demanding paper that tests your ability in four crucial aspects of your speaking skills:

  • conversing about yourself (Part 1)
  • presenting (Part 2)
  • collaborating with others (Part 3)
  • and discussing (Part 4)

And if you perform poorly in just one of these Parts it can pull down your overall score. On the other hand, passing the CAE Speaking paper especially with an exceptional mark tells the world (including your future employer) that you have an advanced level of language competence… It opens doors for you!

"I am so happy to have the opportunity to access this kind of resource in the comfort of my house and really see that it works and also improves my skills."

-Sonia, Brazil
