Study guidance

Six things every Cambridge English student should know

1

Read the question twice. The task word (describe, explain, compare) determines your entire approach — get it wrong and the answer is wrong regardless of quality.

Critical
2

In directed writing, the format (letter, report, speech) is part of the mark scheme. Failing the format costs marks before the examiner reads a single sentence.

Critical
3

Comprehension answers must be in your own words unless you are quoting as evidence. Paraphrasing is a marked skill — practise it deliberately.

High
4

Leave time to re-read your composition. Examiners reward control and precision over impulsive length. A tight 450 words outscores a rambling 700.

High
5

Band descriptors are published by CAIE and available freely. Reading them is the single most effective exam preparation you can do independently.

High
6

Past papers from the last five years are the most predictive of current exam patterns. Earlier papers may reflect different rubric versions.
