CPE Preparation Strategy

Admit it, CPE is tough, and you have to really surround yourself with English. Dedication and motivation both are equally required here. We have prepared few key points which you can keep in mind while preparing.

1.  Very first thing you need is a good book. Best book without any doubt is of Cambridge Press. Book - 1 is available here, and Book - 2 here.
2. Next thing you will need is a good English-to-English dictionary. You can go for mini dictionary, if budget is low. Get it here. Otherwise you can go for Oxford dictionary. Cambridge's English vocabulary is also a great option.
3. Third tip in our list is podcasts. You can listen to the podcasts when you are travelling, cooking or relaxing, and hence they are more efficient then any other medium.
4. Identify your weak zones, and spend more time on it.
5. Read the newspapers, magazines and books, as much as you can.
6. Invest in mock tests to track your progress.
7. Find a partner to practice English Speaking, and improve your proficiency.
8. Choose few hot topics of the week and write about it.
9. Improve your reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. In a nutshell improve in all the areas.

So these were few important tips. I hope these were useful.

All the best for your exam.
