FCE in Bournemouth - First Certificate in English

100% success rate - all our students have passed the exam

The Cambridge First Certificate in English exam will change a little in December 2008, but at the moment it has 5 papers:

Reading
Writing
Use of English
Listening
Speaking

Each of the written papers is returned to Cambridge for marking and assessment. The Speaking Test is conducted by two examiners who speak to you face to face. All examiners are accredited by Cambridge ESOL.

Reading (Paper 1), 75 minutes

This paper assesses your ability to read and understand texts taken from books, newspapers and magazines.

There are several tasks, including filling in gaps in simple texts, completing forms, and writing a short report or letter of around 100 words to show your knowledge of structure, vocabulary, spelling and punctuation.

Writing (Paper 2), 90 minutes

This paper assesses your ability to write letters, articles, reports and stories of 120-180 words covering a range of topics. You also have the choice to write about one of the FCE Set Books.

Use of English (Paper 3), 75 minutes

This paper tests your knowledge of the language by completing various tasks. These include filling gaps, transforming words and phrases, and identifying errors in texts.

Listening (Paper 4), 40 minutes

This paper assesses your ability to understand spoken English. The listening material is taken from a variety of types including interviews, discussions, lectures and conversations.

Speaking (Paper 5), 14 minutes

The Speaking Test assesses your ability to interact in conversational English in a range of situations. It contains four parts, including an interview section, individual speaking for about one minute, a task where you work with a partner and a discussion (you normally take the Speaking Test with another student).
