Hello Pln and all Bringing back our conversation about how could I evaluate my listening skills, I found an interesting website where everyone can test their knowledge and check how the exam is like.
Here it is! http://www.examenglish.com/CAE/listening.php This is a link to a mock listening test for CAE. I don't know if the real test is something like that but I didn't find it as hard as I thought. In my opinion, the speaker is very clear and the audio quality is great. The biggest issue, I believe, is the vocabulary that sometimes is very specific to a subject that we don't know much. There are also listening for other tests such as TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC, etc and moreover, you can evaluate the writting and reading skills as well. Pln, if you can give me you viewpoint about that, I'd be thankful. Have a nice day!
