In episode 949 I did an online test which claimed to be for C1 level, but let’s be honest – it was more like an intermediate level, the questions were rubbish and it was ultimately a useless scam. This time I’m taking a proper C1 English test – the Use of English section from a Cambridge CAE exam. Let’s see what is required to pass this, and what bits of English you can learn from it.
What is the pass mark for this test?
I forgot to add that the pass mark is 60% for this test, which means you must get a minimum of about 22/36 in the Use of English section (that’s 14 lost points). Could you do it? Bear in mind that this is only a part of the whole test, and you’d need to get at least 60% across all 4 sections (also including listening, writing and speaking).
