Pre A1 Starters & A1 Movers

Cambridge English Young Learners (YLE) are a series of motivating and fun exams for primary-school children.

Thousands of parents from worldwide choose the YLE exams to guide their children's learning and be able to check their progress in English following some standards recognised internationally.

At Cambridge School, we offer the Pre A1 Starters and A1 Movers exams, both based on activities that allow children to improve their English following a clear process.

Why take the exam?

The Young Learners exams are good for children who have been studying English for a few years because they:

  • Motivate learning by setting objectives and showing progress
  • Build confidence in an exam situation
  • Develop written and spoken English skills

Furthermore, in the Young Learners exams, there is no pass or fail. Students are assessed on three skills that are graded by shields, and all children receive a certificate:

Who are the exams for?

Preparing for the exams

The Young Learners Starters and Movers exams correspond to Cambridge School levels N4 and N6, respectively. These courses already incorporate preparation for these exams. In February, students do a mock exam in class to see if they're ready to do the exam. If they are, students enrolled in April do another mock exam.
