How to choose your preparation?
A few simple pointers are enough to start with the right exam and avoid choosing too quickly.
Start with the certification actually expected for your studies, your professional project or your application.
The duration and intensity of preparation depend directly on your starting point.
The right balance depends on the time available, the budget and the learning environment you want.
Anticipating the deadline helps you choose a realistic pace and a well-suited school.
A quick conversation often avoids being pointed the wrong way between several similar exams.
Why prepare for your exam abroad?
Preparation through immersion gives a more concrete, more regular and often more motivating framework for reaching the expected level.
You practise the language in class as well as in everyday life.
The pace and the exposure to the language speed up the consolidation of what you have learnt.
You move forward with schools used to the exam formats you are aiming for.
Classes, homework and daily exchanges reinforce regularity.
You rely on institutions already present in the Move and Study adult pathway.
Are you hesitating between several exams?
A Move and Study adviser can help you weigh up language, level, timetable, destination and preparation format.
