๐Ÿ’ป CAE-CPE preparation ๐Ÿ“”

Part 5

Exam experience 


I suddenly realized I forgot to share the final results of my CAE exam๐Ÿ˜… Better late than never, anyway ๐Ÿ˜€

First and foremost, the chosen strategy proved itself because the  results for CAE was C2 mark. ๐Ÿ†

What's more, I really enjoyed the process and learned many more things about English, studying, teaching and even myself during these 3 years of preparation.โœจ

If you want to learn more about how I prepared you can look through #waytoC2 posts
