Computer-Based Exams
The same exam - the same Cambridge certificate

If you take a computer-based Cambridge exam you will get the same internationally recognised certificate upon successfully completing the exam.

Computer-based testing is ideal if you are more comfortable with a keyboard and mouse than with pencil and paper, but there are additional benefits too:

• Faster access to results with scores available to be seen online just three weeks after the test.
  
  
• The test is easy to understand and the online timer and help functions allow you to get the best from your exam performance.
  
  
• You can edit your answers on screen during the exam.
  
  
• The use of headphones for the listening elements of tests mean that you can adjust the volume to suit your needs.
  

   

If you are considering taking a computer-based test, please remember:

• Register well in advance as computer-based exams are very popular and places are limited
  
  
• The computer-based test is another choice in how you take our exams — it does not replace the paper and pen test. Other than the method of completing them, the exams are exactly the same, and they both lead to the same internationally recognised Cambridge ESOL certificate.
  
  
• The security of computer-based exams is protected by state-of-the-art encryption and an on screen lock-down facility.
