Mr D. Meletopoulos,English language teacher and school owner commented:
“An obvious advantage of the computer based exams is that they are held much later than the traditional paper based ones, which gives candidates ample time to practise. Also, the fact that they can register just a fortnight prior to the exam when they feel absolutely confident shouldn't go unnoticed.
When it comes to such an academic level as the Cambridge Proficiency is, this is really important as it can determine students' success. My experience from the computer based Cambridge Proficiency exam is rather positive.
My learners enjoyed it and did their best. Regarding the organisation of the exam, itself, everything was perfect. The staff was friendly and most helpful and everything went according to the schedule. I would like to congratulate the British Council on introducing the computer based version of the Cambridge exams.”
Computer-based testing is becoming increasingly popular. To ensure the highest standards in the delivery of these tests, the British Council has set up CB testing facilities in its Athens premises so as to better respond to candidate demands for further exam dates, outside the annually set paper-based sessions.
Choosing CB exams offers candidates greater flexibility as they can register even up until just 2 weeks before the exam and receive their results within 5 weeks after their session. As of September 2013, the British Council is offering CB tests at lower fees than those of the paper-based versions.
