English language exams not only enable you to provide evidence
of your abilities, but also present a useful goal for you to achieve
during your stay, providing an incitement to learn.
Below, you will find most of the major exams open to foreign
students. They are divided into the examination boards, and the
level of English required is in ascending order (i.e. the easier exams
are listed at the beginning and the harder ones at the end of each
section.)
For further details, contain the examination boards directly.
Once you have decided on the type of exam that is best suited to your
requirements (i.e. on your level of English, amount of time you will
study for the exam, any preferences made by your employers/
educational establishment) you should check to see a) if your
language school offers preparation for the exams b) when you will
be able to sit the exam (view some of the main examination dates).
Most schools would also be able to offer you help and guidance
if you are unsure.
