Cambridge English Qualifications Digital, launched in March 2024, offers a flexible and modern approach to English language testing. According to Pamela Baxter, Chief Product Officer at Cambridge University Press & Assessment, this digital platform enhances the exam experience by aligning with the digital habits of learners worldwide. The new format maintains the same high standards as the paper-based tests but provides increased flexibility and convenience.
Candidates can now take exams such as A2 Key to C2 Proficiency at any time, with added benefits during the exam process. Features like on-screen text highlighting, digital note-taking, and adjustable volume during listening tests make the exam experience more user-friendly. Additionally, results are delivered much faster compared to paper-based tests, which is crucial for candidates needing timely results for study, work, or immigration purposes.
For exam centres, the digital approach removes scheduling constraints and enhances security by offering individualized tests through automated construction from a vast item bank. The new platform is supported by comprehensive digital preparation materials, including practice tests and training tools, to help learners fully prepare. Overall, Cambridge English Qualifications Digital reflects a modern, flexible, and efficient solution for today’s learners and exam centres.
