Faq. Exámenes Cambridge

How long does a Cambridge exam take?

If practically the Cambridge exams are not the most requested, however, in Europe the exams (FCE, CAE, CPE) are the most prestigious, and the most recognized. In general there are more than 15,000 organizations that use it. Being the most demanded and well-known Cambridge English certificate, the FCE (FIRST CERTIFICATE) they have different exams at their disposal for different levels.

Exam duration

The basic exams (KET and PET) last approximately 2 and a half hours, while the higher certificates (FCE, CAE and CPE) last approximately 3 and a half hours.

This does not mean that KET and PET do not have significance, but they acquire some importance if they are explicitly demanded to have access to certain jobs or studies.
