  2. Taking a proficiency test would confirm my English level, that's why I think is important to take it, it would be a way to confirm myself if I have the kind of knowledge that I am looking for, besides I am interested in keep working on international projects and maybe live a season in the UK.

    In this case, because I am interested in moving to Europe I would take the CAE certification from Cambridge first of all thinking that their validation last forever and also thinking that is an Institution located in the UK, On the other hand, I am also interested in IELTS certification with the disadvantage that having only two years of validation.

  4. I have high expectations of traveling to Australia, so I am more than interested in doing the IELTS certification, however, at the moment I would like to work in the pharmaceutical industry and the CAE certification would help me to get a better position, that's why that if I order my priorities a bit, I will choose the CAE certification in the near future.

    1. In my perspective, CAE definitely will help you with your objective unless the organizations you’re working for were needing a different certification, but I don’t think so. Good luck!

    2. I agree with you, the Cambridge test is the best option because it provides a permanent certification.

  11. First of all, the language proficiency test is going to be necessary for my major due to I must provide that I manage the B2 level of English in order to graduate. Secondly, studying the master’s degree of Neuropsychology and trying to obtain a student scholarship abroad are goals that require a certification of the use of the language of the country, in my case, I’m interested on Canada and Spain. Nevertheless, I do have to take in mind period of paperwork and that sort of things, so choosing CAE would be my best option owing its duration.

  12. I think that taking a language proficiency test is really important to validate my level of English idiom. So I would like to take a CAE certification because is recognized in countries, institutes, and industries. Having a certification would help me to get a better job position and be a candidate to study for a master's degree.

    1. Certainly, with CAE you are "covered" with a paper with reputation and backed up which opens gates to better opportunities in future projects.

  13. One of the main reasons why we should obtain an English certification as a student is to be able to study abroad. Most students have thought, at least once, about doing an academic exchange because most of us would like to have the opportunity to study in an English-speaking country. On the other hand, this document also facilitates the VISA process.
    Therefore, according to my priorities, I consider that the best option is the Cambridge certification (CAE) which has no duration limit. In addition to being recognized by universities, companies and governments from all over the world.

    1. Hi Lupita! I don't know that getting a certification is important when you request for a VISA. Now you gave me other reason to get it. 🙃🙃🙃

    2. I agree with you Guadalupe, the fact that CAE doesnt requiere a renewal every 2 years brings a great compensation in a long term.

      I didn't know that the certificate helps you with VISA process. Is a very important reason for getting it. I hope you can achieve your academic exchange! Is an one in a lifetime experience.

  14. I wanted a certification in order to study abroad, however, now the idea to travel and work in another country(probably Canada or UK) fits me more. Since Cambridge is actually wildely know, my personal opinion its that that is the one which covers up most of my needs(mostly because it doesnt requiere to be renewed).
    Its important to have a certification in order to have something that proves your english level so you can obtain better opportunities when looking for a job or even study abroad.

  15. I think that it allows you to have a document that validates your level and maybe in the future it will represent a giant opportunity for working, doing an academic exchange, or just traveling to other countries.

    For these reasons I'm interested in CAE, because of its validity time, it is the most comfortable option, moreover, it is backed by a very prestigious institution.

    3. Yup, I agree too.
      I think the CAE it's the best option because you don't need to take it again and your score has no expiration day, also it's widely recognized, so double win haha 🧐​​​.

  17. At first, I wanted to finish this class so I could find a job as an english teacher. Once I tried it, and I loved it, it´s really gratificating and improving for every part involved in the class. Then, added to the wish of becoming a techer, I got onformation about a mayor in translation and english is a crucial part for it.
    So, here we are.

    Is important to take it, specially when we want to migrate to another country where English is the main language. Personally, I don't discard going to Canada or UK for living, and when I'll need a job, this certificate will help me a lot for proving mi level. That's why I'm interested in IELTS, and TOEFL because is a task for getting my degree.

    1. Sometimes, thinking in the possibility of me failing the tests scares me but the advantages and opportunities, as you said, of having a certification overweighs the bad thoughts.

  19. I look forward to get a scholarship to study overseas. Moreover, the proficiency test will make me realise what my actual level is, if it goes well it would motivate me and boost my confidence to immigrate or work in an English-speaking country.
    Because of the fact that CAE and ISE have no expire date, those are the proficiency tests I’m interested in.

      Same as you!, The fact that these certifications do not have an expiration date is comforting, and at the same time even having both would be amazing for the resume.

    I think that a certification that guarantees your level of English is very important in the labor field. In my case, with my master's degree in medicine, being able to publish articles in English opens a lot of doors internationally, that's why for now I'm interested in a Cambridge certification. After it, if it is necessary to migrate to another country for work, I will do the TOEFL or IELTS certification in due time, as the case may be.

  21. Why should you take a language proficiency test? Which one would you take and why?

    I think that the language proficiency test isn't necessary at all because even if you're certificated, the way that those tests were built is not 100% based on the common life usage, that's why I think it's better to demonstrate it before say it. Also, as we all know this kind of tests are important for many academic and living reasons as a cause that they´re a requirement of the procedure for studying or living in another country.
    So, I think you should take one of those kind of tests only if you are trying to complete a procedure for studying, living or working out of your country but if it's just to measure your level, maybe it's not necessary at all but at the end of the day any decision you make is not wrong, just think why you want it.
    In my case, I need it for working and academic purpouses for the future, I've done some tests also for working requirements but I never done it because I want to know how much I know. So, I'll maybe take one of the Cambridge's tests because those are accepted in most of the Canadian's companies that I want to work with. Also, I believe that it's better if you have a result and you don't need to take it again each 2 years like TOEFL, so for me it's the best option, just for the moment when I'll need it (again).
