The Cambridge Young Learners English Tests are fun and motivating for children, and at the same time they give parents an accurate assessment of their child’s English language skills. The exams test how well your child uses English in the four skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening. They are available at three levels:
Level 1: Starters
Level 2: Movers
Level 3: Flyers
Who are these examinations for?
The Cambridge Young Learners Tests are designed for children between the ages of seven and twelve, although the level of the candidates is the important factor, rather than the age. As such they are an appropriate first step towards the University of Cambridge (UCLES) Main Suite of Examinations, which are designed for teenagers and adults.

Where and when are the examinations available?
These examinations are mainly available through schools in Jordan, and schools can choose to opt into these tests as part of their programme. The examinations can be held at any time during the year, as long as we inform the University of Cambridge at least six weeks before the proposed exam date. The minimum entry requirement is 10 candidates per session.
Do children get a certificate for their examinations?
All candidates who complete their test receive an official certificate. There are no pass/fail results. The certificates focus on what candidates can do, rather than what they can’t do, and give the children credit for having taken part in the test.
