Frequently asked questions
Do Cambridge certificates expire?
No. Your certificate doesn't expire, although some organisations may ask for a recent result. Check with the one you are applying to.
Which level is right for me?
B2 First suits students starting from B1, C1 Advanced from B2 and C2 Proficiency from C1. The free level assessment helps you choose.
What if I score just below the level?
A score just below the level you sat can still earn you the certificate for the level below.
How many weeks do I need?
It depends on your starting level and the exam you are aiming for. Four weeks suits students already close to the level, eight weeks gives time to work on every paper, and twelve weeks adds a grammar and vocabulary foundation.
