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. 📄 Get the PDF 👉 https://teacherluke.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Lets-take-a-REAL-C1-English-Test-CAE-Use-of-English-955.pdf 🔗 Website page for this episode 👉 https://teacherluke.co.uk/2025/09/29/lets-take-a-real-c1-english-test-cae-use-of-english-955/ 🏆 LEP Premium 👉 https://www.teacherluke.co.uk/premium 🎧 Listen to my podcast in an app on your phone 👉 https://www.teacherluke.co.uk/links What is the pass mark for this CAE test? 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). Hosted on Acast.

  • Hello, listeners.

  • So a few episodes ago, I did a C1 grammar test, which I found online.

  • It was episode 949 called Let's Do a C1 Grammar Test.

  • And perhaps I didn't make this point.

  • clearly enough during the episode.

  • But part of the reason that I did that is

  • because I wanted to show that the test that I did in the episode was basically a scam.

  • And I wanted to make the point that a lot of tests that you find online,

  • if you just Google something like English grammar test, a lot of those tests are basically useless.

  • Some of those websites are just out to take your money and testing your level of English accurately is a complicated business which does get to the heart of what it really means to be good at English.

  • So that was actually the point I wanted to make and I probably didn't make it quite as clearly

  • as I intended.

  • The test which I did in the episode wasn't really appropriate for a C1 level and in fact quite a lot of people made that point in the comments.

  • Lots of people were talking about how easy it was and how it wasn't really a genuinely C1 test.

  • It was more like an intermediate test with questions that covered language points more suited to an intermediate level,
