For everyone stressing out about the exam, these are NOT your run of the mill B1 students. Their level is a lot higher, vocabulary wise they are excellent too. So don't stress out.

Oh, gosh. I really want to have an exam like that. I always had the dream to be a translator, and i know someday I must take this test. I'm just 15 and i never had the opportunity to take a class of English because of my economy situation. Therefore, i've had to study by myself all these years. I've been studying English since i was 8 and the only thing i've always wanted is to show to all my family that I'm able to go beyond their expectations with this beautiful and wonderful language. I just want to say: Cambridge, see you soon!

What I don't like about these exams is speaking part ,when the participants should speak and interrapt each other in order to show their communication strength . For instance here Simone seems to be more friendly one ,who asks and makes it possible for Roberto to show his speaking skills. Meanwhile Roberto's behavor is more selfish , he is not communicating , just playing "a one-way street " game . I think it's not fair .

As a qualified examiner, I can absolutely assure you that all of the interaction patterns are taken into consideration, and we will ensure that each candidate is allowed to speak for sufficient time to be able to showcase their knowledge and skills. In the last section, more of the questions are directed at Simone for this reason.
I'm having this exam this Saturday, I'm so nervous. Update (24.08.2022) I just registered in the platform and my overall score was 165, so I passed at Grade A.
I wish I could pass the speaking test with ease like these guys, I usually get so anxious when it comes to exams... And I have the B1 exam tomorrow.
