Trinity college examinations at school

Hello and happy new Year 2013!! Have you ever heard of the Integrated Skills in English (ISE) and its correspondence with the levels of competence in this language of the CEFR(Common European Framework of Reference)? I'm sure you have. You can see pictures of the students who passed the examinations last year in the blog.

 Some of our students have already applied for the examinations Trinity College offers in our school. Last year eleven of them applied and passed  the ISE I exams corresponding to the B1 successfully, the first stage of the independent User level of the CEFR . You can also apply for the second stage if you feel are good enough for that ISE II. You have time to prepare for these exams that will be evaluated by May and June.

The examinations for ISE I ( B1 level of the CEFR) and ISE II ( B2 level of the CEFR) consist of three parts:

Here you are the percentages for each component of ISE I and ISE II:

Ask your teacher of English if you are interested in them and she/he will give you more information and help.
