Let’s do a REAL C1 English Test! 🙇‍♂️ (CAE Use of English) [955]

About this episode

<p>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.</p><p>📄 Get the PDF 👉 <a href="https://teacherluke.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Lets-take-a-REAL-C1-English-Test-CAE-Use-of-English-955.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://teacherluke.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Lets-take-a-REAL-C1-English-Test-CAE-Use-of-English-955.pdf</a></p><p>🔗 Website page for this episode 👉 <a href="https://teacherluke.co.uk/2025/09/29/lets-take-a-real-c1-english-test-cae-use-of-english-955/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://teacherluke.co.uk/2025/09/29/lets-take-a-real-c1-english-test-cae-use-of-english-955/</a></p><p>🏆 LEP Premium 👉 <a href="https://www.teacherluke.co.uk/premium" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.teacherluke.co.uk/premium</a></p><p>🎧 Listen to my podcast in an app on your phone 👉 <a href="https://www.teacherluke.co.uk/links" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.teacherluke.co.uk/links</a></p><br><p><strong>What is the pass mark for this CAE test?</strong></p><p>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).</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
