The Cambridge way to test your English proficiency Various English proficiency tests are being taken up for gaining entry into academic institutions, acquiring work experience abroad and for immigration purposes. Certification examinations equivalent to these one-time tests are co nducted by the University of Cambridge which also conducts IELTS, one o f the most popular tests for assessment of proficiency of the Eng lish language. The IELTS follows the Common European Framework for Languages (CEFR), a uniform system with which the teaching, learning a nd assessment of all European languages for no n- native speakers is assessed. It has three bro ad divisions that categorises the test-takers as A ±  basic speakers, B ± independent speakers and C ± pro fi cient speakers. The IE LTS profiles the candidates and tells them, based o n scores, at which level within the entire band t hey stand. A range of other language certifications and assessments provided by the University of Cambridge also test listening, speaking, reading and writing skills (see graphic) using the same  parameters. The Cambridge Main Suite Examinat ion is a general English exam, available in different levels. The Key English Test, P reliminary English Test, First Certifi cate in English, Certified Advanced English and Certificate of Proficiency are t he various certificates available under this examination. Unlike the IELTS which is valid for two years, these tests provide certification of achievement. These certificates can be substituted for IELTS scores in many universities.
