English Tests
The Cambridge pathway from Grade 2 to Grade 6: Movers in Grade 2, Flyers by Grade 4, and Key and Preliminary in Grade 6.
At Yu-Jen, every ESL student follows the Cambridge English Qualifications pathway, from Grade 2 to Grade 6. Cambridge tests are recognized around the world and aligned with the CEFR, so each level a child reaches carries over to the tests and schools that come next.
The Cambridge pathway
| Cambridge level | CEFR level | What we expect |
|---|---|---|
| A1 Movers Grade 2 | A1 | Every student passes. Many go on to Flyers in the same year. |
| A2 Flyers Grades 3–4 | A2 | Every student has passed by the end of Grade 4. Many already aim higher. |
| A2 Key for Schools (KET) Grades 5–6 | A2 | Students build toward the higher Cambridge levels. |
| B1 Preliminary for Schools (PET) Grade 6 | B1 | Grade 6 students work toward Key and Preliminary. Some also take advanced GEPT and TOEIC tests. |
Some children also take Pre A1 Starters, but it is optional: our pathway begins with Movers.
Our strongest students go further still: recent results include passes at B2 First (FCE) and in TOEIC.
Recent Cambridge results: our honor rolls for A2 Key, B1 Preliminary and B2 First.
Why Cambridge
Cambridge tests check all four skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking. Each level is tied to the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference), the international scale used by schools, universities and employers. A child who reaches B1 at Yu-Jen holds a level that means the same thing anywhere, which makes the next step clearer for families planning ahead.
How testing works
The school arranges all Cambridge tests. Families do not need to register separately; we send details of each test session home in advance.
Other tests, such as GEPT Kids, GEPT and TOEIC, are booked by families directly. Our teachers are happy to advise which test and level suit your child.
Rewards
We celebrate effort and progress through our English Expert program, in which students earn medals as they reach their goals, and through our spelling bees.
