Are you studying for any exams now? What about in the future?
Do you know which is the most widely recognised English proficiency exam in the world?

I'm studying for TOEFL ibt Exam now. i am a good reader and listener but not a good speaker and writer. I'm seeking for interesting ways of practicing these skills.
TOEFL ibt and pbt, GRE(General and Subject) and Tolimo are the most popular exams in Iran. many of student give these exams for continuing their upper studies abroad.
now I'm practicing with a book "Cambridge TOEFL ibt Preparation"
from Cambridge Press. and i think it is a good book because of it's
exams and exercises.

Cambridge Exams are very popular in Argentina. There are 2 registered centres for Cambridge Exams and tyow for the IGCSE in my town with only 120.000 inhabitants. There are many others in bigger cities like the Federal District for example.
Most students sit for FCE and CAE. I haven't sat for any of these, but would love to sit for the Proficiency Exam one day.
I think they are not very difficult but you need to study hard
and get well acquainted with the format of every exam.
This is interesting Maru!
I have taught the Cambridge exams as well as the IGCSE! You are
right.. they can be difficult and students really need to prepare
as some examiners can be quite tough!
