"CPE june"
LAST EDITED ON Jun-19-10 AT 03:27 AM (GMT)

Hi!
I'd like to share that I've just sat for my CPE exam, and feel a bit blue because I couldn't do my best in UoE (I found it unexpectedly difficult, in special parts 3 and 5
As well, Reading and Listening results are an absolute mystery for me. I know there's no option but to wait until ending July :-S , quite hard!!!
Best wishes for everybody waiting for their results!!
Love,
V

Hi Valerie (and everyone else who winds up reading this, of course)!
I also cannot stand waiting for so long because I always start feeling very good about the upcoming results (cautious optimism) and finally I end up doubting myself, I hate waiting basically.

As far as individual papers go, I was very apprehensive about writing and reading (because I usually do not get as much practise as I would like) but I found both quite easy (surprisingly). On the other hand, when it came to the reading or listening parts that I was very confident about I found some parts quite tricky, especially reading part 3 (something about an expedition to Antarctica maybe? they ran out of gasoline at some point?) and the final part of the listening test (a couple discussing celebrities) just because I was so damn exhausted and it was the last part of CPE that I took.

If you do not mind me asking - are you hoping for a specific result or it is just imporant for you to pass (everyone approaches these things differently) and do you need it for a specific purpose?

I might end up needing in the future at university if I want to go and spend some portion of my studies abroad. As far as results are concerned, I am really hoping for an A, I mean I would not mind getting a B but given the cost of taking the exam in my country plus the time I spent preparing I would feel that I let myself down with any other result (yes, I am quite hard on myself).

Hi!
Well, as far as the result is concerned and given the importance of the exam itself, I just want to read the word "PASS"!!!!!! Notwithstanding, a "B" would make me extremely happy, but i really don't care.

My reasons for the CPE are, above all, improving my personal and professional skills, and also acquiring the possiblity of entering any University in England. I see it as a key.

I wish you and everybody good luck with this, see you around.
