Part 4 was pretty challenging to say the least!

[EthanPlagueTheOneAndOnly]

VIET!!! I PASSED! And they say that my listening is for C1!! THANK YOU!! It is mostly because of you!!!! 😇😇😇😇😇

[klarapedisic]

I got 24/30. Important is that I'm getting better... last time I took CPE I failed because I didn't get the minimum passing mark in the listening part😭 otherwise I would have passed. This time I will score better hopefully, thank you so much for the materials!

[aaaaa]

Thank you very much. It is the best help I have ever had. It is very useful for me. Best wishes.

27/30 - by far my best score. Fitting, as I'm 3 weeks away from the test!

Honestly, My score has improved immensely after taking these 12 listening tests. (n_n)

[simply_preposterous]

28/30, but this one was really easy to understand, so can't see it as much of a personal achievement.

my record was 24 out of 30 and I'm struggling to surpass that

[trinhngocanh]

Whats the minimum point to obtain grade c, pls?

[salamamel]

[opelastra]

I was sure I'd failed badly but it turns out I have 27/30.
