Test Day at CES

We want you to do well in your Cambridge test, so we’ve put together some tips and advice to help you understand what you can expect on test day.

Before the day of your test, check the start time of your Cambridge test and make sure you know how to get to the test venue on time. We recommend doing this a week in advance so you’re fully prepared. Make sure to arrive early to the test venue. If you arrive late to the venue, you may not be permitted to sit the test.
