McGraw-Hill ELT Exams/Testing

OPTIONAL PERSONAL TUTOR

The Cambridge First Certificate in English (FCE) is the third level of the Cambridge exams in English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). It is an Upper Intermediate level exam, set at Level B2 (Vantage) of the Council of Europe’s Common European Framework for Modern Languages, and recognizes the ability to deal confidently with a range of written and spoken communications. Successful candidates receive a certificate awarded by the University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations, and recognized by universities and employers in many countries.

The Self-Study Book is a user-friendly reference guide which includes a description of the exam, commented corrections of sample exams, strategies, tips, answers, transcripts and more.

The CD-ROM offers four interactive sample tests for students to work with. Each practice test replicates the type of exercises and tasks to be found in the exam. The CD-ROM provides instant feedback and guides the user through each complete exam. The visually attractive materials, the high quality of the listening material and the wide variety of exercise types and activities help to make practicing for the Cambridge FCE exam a meaningful and fun experience.

An innovative and distinctive feature of the McGraw-Hill Exam Preparation Series is the Personal Tutor option. This service is available at a reasonable cost to any user of the Exam Preparation Series. It provides a personal tutor to guide and assess students in the Speaking and Writing sections of each exam via telephone and email contact. This service is designed to provide users with a high quality preparation and a clear advantage when sitting the exam, although students who decide to use only the Self-Study Book also receive a thorough preparation. This service is entirely optional. Additional information and access to the Personal Tutor option is available on the IELTS website.
