UK exams: think beyond

The Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE) is widely recognised as the standard for University entrance. Professional bodies and the corporate sector acknowledge CPE as the certification of a near native command of English. At this stage, learners are approaching a standard of English similar to that of an educated native speaker and they are expected to cope in most situations in an English-speaking environment.
