CAE assessment breakdown question
Posted: Mon Nov 06, 2006 1:21 pm
Hello
I understand that in order to pass the CAE, students need to achieve at least 60% in each paper. However, I was wondering if this applied to the sections within each paper? In particular, Paper 3 (English In Use) has six parts. Do students need to get 60% in each part, or can they fail one and compensate for this with a higher score in another part?
The reason I ask is that my students are particular worried about the first two parts. Any info much appreciated.
