Movers
Cambridge YLE tests are designed for young school-age children taking their first steps in English.
The exam has three levels (Starters, Movers, Flyers) and Movers is the second in this series. Many parents have found that these exams increase children's motivation to learn English. At the same time, by taking the exam children gain valuable experience of sitting international exams. Every child who takes the exam, without exception, receives a certificate reflecting their knowledge on an international scale.
Primary-school children who have only recently started learning English and want to test their knowledge, as well as gain an international certificate matching their level, can take this exam.
Interactive, engaging exam tasks let children improve their English and motivate them to keep learning, while building confidence in their abilities.
On the international scale the exam level is A2 (Elementary). Recommended for children aged 8 to 12.
