CAE Speaking
Improve your speaking for the CAE
You have an excellent command of the language and you move like a fish in water when in an English-speaking country. Having a high level of English is the key to getting certified. That said, you shouldn’t let anxiety play any tricks on you.
It’s normal to feel a little nervous when it comes to taking the speaking test for the Certificate in Advanced English (CAE). To reduce your stress level and prevent your mind from going blank, it’s important for you to have full confidence in your abilities and, of course, to prepare well.
The Smart Learning® method from ABA English, the digital English academy, will be very useful. First of all, because it covers all the topics that will be evaluated by the CAE, since it’s been developed according to the guidelines of the CEFR and Cambridge, and, secondly, because it takes into account your personality, tastes, and interests.

CAE speaking test tips
Prepare for your speaking test and get excellent results by following these tips:
1. Talk to native speakers
Participate in video conferences or Speaking Sessions, like the ones offered by ABA English. Social networks are also an excellent resource to make new friends and chat with them.
2. Build your vocabulary
Fluency is important, but you also need to incorporate more words. The sagas, comics, movies, TV series, and even video games you like are very effective resources.
3. Take advantage of the expressions in the language itself
Phrasal verbs are very helpful when you want to surprise someone during a conversation. Make up funny stories with them, try to find them in song lyrics or movie subtitles, and learn many more!
4. Look for interactive exercises
Download an app like the one from ABA English, which allows you to choose the topics that interest you to practice with, doing exercises of the advanced level is essential when it comes to improving your speaking skills!
