Frequently asked questions about preparing for English exams
What English exams do you help students prepare for?
AP Courses help students prepare for international exams: IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, Cambridge ESOL, and Cambridge English Exams: KET, PET, FCE, CAE. These exams help students gain admission to educational institutions abroad. They are also necessary for employment, professional development, skills improvement, obtaining citizenship, etc.
How long does it take to prepare for an English exam?
It depends on the student’s current level of knowledge and the desired result (for example, IELTS 6.5 requires less time than 8.0). It also depends on the complexity and structure of the test. If a student has a current level of A0-A1 and needs to reach C1, comprehensive quality preparation will take approximately 1 year. A target score of 7.0+ on IELTS or 100+ on TOEFL usually requires 1–6 months of active study, depending on the student’s previous level of knowledge.
Is the course suitable for any level of knowledge?
Yes, our courses are adapted to different levels. However, before the main program begins, students will be helped to determine their current level of knowledge. If you have A1–A2, you first need to brush up on basic grammar and vocabulary, and then move on directly to the topics that will be on the exam. If you have B1–B2, teachers start immediately with these topics, conduct test assignments, and organize test simulations.
If the student’s current level is C1–C2, the preparation will focus more on improving skills and reviewing specific points. It will also focus on conversational practice.
How are exam preparation classes conducted?
These classes take several forms. The first is the review of one or more topics from the exam, which is usually given to a group of students with the same level of knowledge. Here, the teacher explains the material in detail and gives examples from previous years’ tests. The second form is an exam simulation, i.e., a practical group lesson during which students use their notes and all available hints, including help from the teacher. The third form involves individual lessons. In such lessons, the teacher provides a detailed analysis of specific points requested by the student that arose during the main sessions or in independent work.
Is it possible to prepare for the exam online?
The remote format of preparation is relevant and popular today. AP Courses specializes in preparing for international English exams, specifically in an online format. Our experience has revealed the advantages of this method. Teaching methods based on the Close to You principles allow you to create the effect of the teacher’s physical presence, so the difference from traditional tutoring is not significant. Advantages of the online format: during mock tests, it is easier for students to concentrate, and interactive elements make the training more interesting (games and competitions on the platform), and you can also review the recording of the lesson.
Who teaches the exam preparation courses?
Teachers who prepare students for international exams have also undergone such training several times in the past. This experience is useful because they pay attention to the psychological preparation of the student, which is just as important as knowledge of the English language.
Do you conduct mock tests during the course?
One of the forms of training on the preparation course is exam simulation. There are two types: with the use of hints in the materials and the help of the teacher, and a full test according to the rules of the exam itself. They are rarely held for general control. Here, it is significant to pay attention not only to the educational part but also to your psychological state, to train your attentiveness and composure, to try to stay motivated and calm when you cannot remember the rules, and to learn to work under stress.
How do I know that I am ready to take the exam?
One of the forms of training on the preparation course is exam simulation. There are two types: with the use of hints in the materials and the help of the teacher, and a full test according to the rules of the exam itself. They are rarely held for general control. Here, it is significant to pay attention not only to the educational part but also to your psychological state, to train your attentiveness and composure, to try to stay motivated and calm when you cannot remember the rules, and to learn to work under stress.
Do you issue a certificate after completing the course?
At the end of the course, students take an internal exam similar to the one they are preparing for. After passing the exam, they receive a certificate with their scores, confirming that they have completed the training course and achieved the specified level of English according to the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) system.
How does your training differ from regular English courses?
The course for preparing for international English exams has a special format. It differs significantly from other types of courses. Its main feature is its focus on the structure and content of the exam. Preparation involves systematic review, repetition, and reproduction of exam components, while other courses modify their already diverse programs, i.e., one course is one comprehensive program with a clear set of topics assigned to specific terms.
