Introduction
The structure of Cambridge English: First – an overview The Cambridge English: First examination consists of four papers. Reading and Use of English 1 hour 15 minutes This paper consists of seven parts, with 52 questions. For Parts 1 to 4, the test contains texts with accompanying grammar and vocabulary tasks, and separate items with a grammar and vocabulary focus. For Parts 5 to 7, the test contains a range of texts and accompanying reading comprehension tasks. Writing 1 hour 20 minutes This paper consists of two parts which carry equal marks. In Part 1, which is compulsory, candidates have to write an essay of between 140 and 190 words, giving their opinion in response to a task. In Part 2, there are three tasks from which candidates choose one to write about. The range of tasks from which questions may be drawn includes an article, an email/ letter, a report and a review. In this part, candidates have to write between 140 and 190 words. Listening 40 minutes (approximately) This paper consists of four parts. Each part contains a recorded text or texts and some questions, including multiple-choice, sentence completion and multiple-matching questions. Each text is heard twice. There is a total of 30 questions. Speaking 14 minutes This paper consists of four parts. The standard test format is two candidates and two examiners. One examiner takes part in the conversation while the other examiner listens. Both examiners give marks. Candidates will be given photographs and other visual and written material to look at and talk about. Sometimes candidates will talk with the other candidate, sometimes with the examiner, and sometimes with both.
Grading Candidates will receive a score on the Cambridge English Scale for each of the four skills and Use of English. The average of these five scores gives the candidate’s overall Cambridge English Scale score for the exam. This determines what grade and CEFR level they achieve. All candidates receive a Statement of Results and candidates who pass the examination with Grade A, B or C also receive the First Certificate in English. Candidates who achieve Grade A receive the First Certificate in English stating that they demonstrated ability at Level C1. Candidates who achieve Grade B or C receive the First Certificate in English certificate stating that they demonstrated ability at Level B2. Candidates whose performance is below B2 level, but falls within Level B1, receive a Cambridge English certificate stating that they have demonstrated ability at Level B1. Candidates whose performance falls below Level B1 do not receive a certificate. For further information on grading and results, go to the website (see page 4).
