Cambridge English speaking tests take place with one or two other candidates, and two examiners. This makes your test more realistic and more reliable.

what I've learned from Cambridge C2 speaking test videos: YOU MUST TAKE A GAP YEAR TO TAKE THE EXAM.

[be_me]

I would have expected the C2 test to be far more difficult. I suppose it's not so much about the given topic having to be difficult but how well the participants are able show their skills.

[baldosutera]

Nobody:
Rodrigo: That’s a good question!

[tranchan]

They speak fluently and they have a lot of ideas and a wide range of vocabulary on the related topic. all of the above they deserve to get C2.

[prefblandon]

Cambridge testers are such a kind people, that great attitude helps people to be like at home, and therefore they can speak fluently. ¡Keep it up!

[deloliilol]

the accent of the tester is SO satisfying!!!

[zephyrdoesthedo]

It's been nine years since this has been posted, and my teacher still recommends these to everyone. They're great though. I passed the B2 and C1 with these videos and today, I have my C2-speaking and I'm sure, this will be of great help once again.

[cecilelabbe]

No matter what, CONGRATULATIONS! I hope they've obtained their diploma because this examen has a high level; this part is very important and difficult, speak like a native speaker👍👍

[josejulianaguirrepinzon]

Dear Youtube community, as you might have noticed, every candidate who wants to take any of the Cambridge exams is *bound* to come across an answer which requires the word "important".
Are you planing to sit the test or simply want to improve your skills, I invite you to be prepared and create a list of synonyms so that you can paraphrase your ideas without limiting yourself to one word.
Shall I begin? Feel free to share your input to our list:

I am about to sit the exams too on the C2 level. This speaking really helped me and I want to thank my teacher for sending it to me

[theatisgr]

The most surprising thing about Rodrigo is that he was able to anglicize his name, instead of saying

[archafromdmc]

Honestly big w for my man Rodrigo he knew he wasn't going to pass so he just flirted with the other girl, stay strong king.

[kozukikarin]

They don’t look like sitting in an exam. They seem like they are flirting each other. But they are breath speakers. It should be like this

[isadorasilveira]

I don't think fluency is related to not having an accent, if you are not a native English speaker it's absolutely normal.

[FrancoBergola]

que grande rodrigoooo, que será de su vida

[rodherluc]

The CHEMISTRY between they two though Rodrigo decime que la invitaste a salir x2

[PaulMarkX]

The guy was so clever to ask the girl the questions so she could answer them and not him lmao

[cucobooo]

Two days before taking my c2 exam, I'm watching this. I can't stop thinking and comparing the level of Cambridge and the Institute I've been studying my entire life. The Cambridge looks so nice and not so difficult, honesty. But when I see mine, it's way more different and hard to complete. To be clear, I'm not saying Cambridge level isn't good, of course you need to practice and study a lot, but somehow it is easier than mine. This is the second time I'm doing this test, and to be honest, I think I'm not gonna pass.

[iamhungry]

I initially came here to observe how the test is administered but I kept on watching because of their chemistry. Let my 🚢 sail haha

[julianlay]

The examinator looks like your favourite aunt. Love her
