CPE is for learners who have reached a high level of language skills and are able to function effectively in almost any English-speaking context.

You are approaching a standard of English similar to that of an educational native speaker.

Five English language skills are tested:

• Reading
• Writing
• Use of English
• Listening
• Speaking.
