Dear Parents,

The YLE Cambridge assessment exam is upon us once again this Saturday. For those unfamiliar with this assessment, the exam is divided into three levels of  "Starters", "Movers", and "Flyers". Each level is then awarded up to 5 badges maximum to show a degree of competency at each level. Judging from last year's results, many of our early learners are already doing well in the "Movers" level and some should be attempting to challenge themselves at the "Flyers" level. We'll be going over testing methods and sample tests for each level in our off periods throughout the week. In the meantime;

Please follow the given links below to practice the Listening Test for each level and don't forget to download and print the last item for the Written Test as well as Listening Test graphics.

Starters: Starter Listening Test

Movers: Mover Listening Test

Flyers: Flyers Listening Test

Written Test and accompanying graphics for each Listening Test: Download and print

Study well and good luck on the assessment.
