The Main Suite of Cambridge exams are amongst the world’s best known qualifications for learners of English, taken by hundreds of thousands of candidates each year. Exams are available at five levels. Each exam covers the four main language skills - listening, speaking, reading and writing - and assesses the ability to use a variety of structures and functions in authentic situations.
If you are at the early stages of learning English, and want a qualification that will indicate that you have achieved a basic level understanding, then you should consider taking the KET exam.
