Mock Exams: What Are They For?

It is undeniable that students have their own reasons for choosing a course and investing their time and money in it. In most cases, the primary goal is to obtain an official certificate that will open up various future opportunities.

However, it is not just about earning a certificate—it is also about truly learning a language and becoming proficient enough to use it naturally in everyday life. This is where Cambridge English, and specifically the Cambridge Language Assessment, plays a crucial role.

Moreover, these official certificates are required by many universities, business schools, and corporations worldwide. In other words, not having them can limit future opportunities in the short, medium, and long term.

Novacadèmia School became an Official Preparation Centre for all Cambridge Exams in 2012, the same year it was founded. Our expert team understands the immense value of guiding students toward these official certifications, and we work diligently every day to help them succeed. We are just as committed to this challenge as our students, and together, we achieve outstanding results that positively impact their lives.

The Importance of Mock Exams

Mock exams take place every March and April, simulating real exam conditions for all our students. These exams provide us with valuable insights into each student’s current proficiency and how well they meet the required levels across the five skills assessed in the Cambridge Exams. This is one of the most significant moments of the academic year, and both students and teachers participate with great dedication.

Within 15 days, all mock exams are carefully reviewed by our team of teachers and supervised by our academic coordinators. Each student receives their results individually, providing an objective assessment of their readiness for the official exam. Additionally, this process helps identify which skills need extra reinforcement to maximize their performance on exam day. This approach has contributed to our impressive 95% average passing rate across all official Cambridge exams.

On March 17th, our 2024-2025 Course Mock Exams period will begin. Everything is set, and we eagerly anticipate seeing the results of our students’ hard work since September 2024.

More than 250 students will participate in these mock exams. This service is included in the cost of all our courses, whether group or individual. While it requires extensive preparation and grading time, the benefits it provides are invaluable.

So, What Are Mock Exams For?

In short, mock exams serve as a professional assessment of our students’ progress throughout the course, ensuring they are well-prepared to successfully pass their official Cambridge English exams.
