lntroduction to the CAE GoldPlus exam maximiser

The CAE Gold PIus exam maximiser is speciallydesigned to maximise your chances of success in theCambridge Advanced English Certificate.

The exam maximiser will help you prepare for theCambridge Advanced exam by offering you:

o further practice and revision of all the importantvocabulary, grammar and skills (reading, writing,listening and speaking) that you study in the CAE

Gold Plus Coursebookmore information about the kinds of questions youwill have to answer in the CAE exam

guidance with strategies and techniques youshould use to tackle exam tasks

exam-style exercises so that you can practise usingthe techniques

a complete sample exam which you can use forpractice just before you sit the exam. This meansthat you will know exactly what to expect in eachpaper and that there are no unpleasant surprises.

How can I use the CAE GoldPIus exam maximiser?The exam maximiser is very flexible and can be used bystudents in a variety of situations and in a variety ofways. Here are some typical situations:

IYou are doing a CAE course with other studentsprobably over an academic year. You are allplanning to take the exam at the same time.

You are using the CAE Gold Plus Coursebook in class.Sometimes you will also do the related exercises oreven a whole unit from the exam maximiser in class,though your teacher will ask you to do exercises fromit at home as well. You will use the entire exammaximiser or you will use it selectively, depending onyour needs and the time available.

IYou have already done a CAE course and you arenow doing an intensive course to prepare for theexam.

Since you have already worked through Ihe CAE GoldPlus Coursebook or perhaps another CAE coursebook,you will use the exam maximiser in class. This, togetherwith the CAE Practice Tests PIus New Edition, will giveyou a concentrated and highly focused short examcourse.

IYou have a very short period in which to preparefor the CAE exam.

Your level of English is already nearing CAE examstandard, though you have not been following a CAEcoursebook. You now need exam skills. You will use theexam maximiser independently, because you needpractice in the exam tasks and how to approach them.

7/22/2019 CAE_GP_EM_U1

5/15

IYou are retaking the CAE exam as unfortunatelyyou were not successful in your first attempt.

You may be having to retake the exam because youwere not sufficiently familiar with the examrequirements. You will not need to follow acoursebook, but you will use the exam maximiser todevelop your exam techniques and build up yourconfidence.

I

You are preparing for the exam on your own.

Maybe you are not attending a CAE class but wish totake the exam and prepare for it independently. Youwill get the practice and preparation by using theexam maximiser by itself. You can give yourself extrapractice by using the CAE Practice Tests Plus NewEdition just before taking the exam.

What is in each unit?Each unit in the exam maximiser contains Vocabularysections. These practise the words and expressionswhich you studied in the CAE Gold Plus Coursebookand introduce you to some new words and expressionsas well. There are plenty of exercises to do, includingexam-style tasks from Paper 3 (English in Use) andcrossword and wordsearch grids for a bit of fun. Thereare also opportunities to practise the vocabularythrough Paper 5 (Speaking) tasks.

You will find two Grammar sections in each unit. Bydoing the exercises in these sections, you can practiseand revise the grammar points you have studied in theCAE Gold Plus Coursebook. Some of the exam-styletasks focus on a particular grammar point to give youplenty of practice but in the exam each task will test avariety of structures. Once again, there are alwaysexam-style tasks from Paper 3 (English in Use), togetherwith Tips to help you complete the tasks. There arealso opportunities to practise the grammar pointsthrough Paper 5 (Speaking) tasks. ln these tasks, youcan hear example answers by listening to therecordings of good CAE candidates performing thespeaking tasks.

Every unit has a Listening section. These sections helpyou train for each of the four parts in Paper 4 :(Listening). First, you read some information about theexam and then you are given some advice on thestrategy you should use in that particular part. You doan exercise to help you practise the strategy and thenan exam-style listening task. There is a vocabularyactivity at the end of most listening sections as well, sothat you can practise dealing with unfamiliar wordsand phrases. The tasks get more difficult as you movethrough the units in the exam maximiser, so that by

the end of the book they are at the same level as theexam.

There is also a Reading section in each unit. Like theListening sections, these provide you with informationabout the exam and strategies to use in each of thefour parts of Paper 1 (Reading). You do some exercisesto help you with the strategy and then you do anexam-style task. There is a vocabulary activity at theend of most reading sections as well, so that you canpractise dealing with unfamiliar words and phrases.There are also some exercises asking you to thinkabout the audience and the genre to help you identifydifferent styles of writing. Like the listening sections,the reading sections are easier at the beginning of thebook but at the level of the exam at the end.

At the end of each unit there is a Writing section. Onceagain, you are given information about the exam andthe kinds of writing tasks you have to do in Parts 1 and2 of Paper 2 (Writing). You are also given a strategy tofollow and then have an opportunity to put it intopractice by reading an exam-style task and doing someexercises, often using sample answers. You write youranswers to these exercises in the exam maximiser.Finally, you write your own answer to the writing task.There is also an lmprove! section in each unit to showyou how to improve your answer and maximise yourmarks.

ln Papers 1, 3 and 4 of the exam you have to transferyour answers to an answer sheet. Unit '14 gives youpractice in filling in these answer sheets.

Once you have worked through all the units, you willbe ready to try the Practice exam at the back of thebook.

Then you'll be really well prepared for the CAE exam.

Good luck!

Exam tips

General. Do what you can first, then go back and do the more

difficult questions.

n lf you don't know an answer, guess. You don't lose marksfor wrong answers.

" Remember to check your answers carefully. Checkespecially that you have filled in any mark sheets correctly.

Reading. Time yourself carefully. Work out how long you have for

each task and don't spend too long on one task. lf youget stuck, go on and come back to the tricky questionslater if you have time.

. Always read the texts through quickly first to get an ideaof the organisation and topic. This will only take you acouple of minutes and wili help you find the informationyou need to answer the questions.

. Don't read every word in a task if you don't need to.Remember, scanning is a reading skill and you will needto do this to get everything done in time.

.ln Part

1and

Part3

tasks, readthe

stems (thefirst

partofthe questions) very carefully. Make sure the answer you

choose is correct when you match it with the stem.

o Don't be misled by 'wordspots' - where you see the sameword in the text as in the questions. lt may not be theanswer.

Writing. Make sure you complete all the functions you are asked

for in a Part 1 task (e.9. explain, describe andrecommend).

. Balance your answer so that you don't write too much onone function and not enough on another.

Listening. Use the context you are given in the instructions and the

questions to predict the outline of what you will hear.

. Use the few seconds you have before each task to scanthe questions quickly so you know how what you willhear develops.

e Don't panic if you miss one answer. Listen carefully untilyou hear words that connect you to the next question.Remember, you hear everything twice.

. Don't be misled by 'wordspots', i.e. when you hear thesame

wordas a word in

thequestion.

lt may notbe

theanSwer.

o Don't choose an answer just because it seems right.Remember, the answer must reflect what thespeaker says.

Use of English. Read each instruction very carefully to make sure you

know what you have to do. This is especially important intasks where you need to change a word or where youmust use the word you are given.

. Read any texts through quickly before you start so thatyou get a general idea of what they are about. This willhelp you choose your answers.

. Remember that collocations and fixed phrases are veryimportant at CAE, so think carefully about where youmay need to consider these, e.g. in Part 1 and Part 5.

. Check your spellings, tenses and singular/pluralagreements very caref ully.

' Be aware of what problems may be caused by your firstlanguage, e.g. you may find articles or prepositionsdiff icu It. C heck these particu larly ca ref u I ly.

Choose your Part 2 task carefully so that you can show arange of structures and vocabulary. Don't just pick thegenre you are most familiar with.

Don't write too many or too few words. Plan your writingto avoid this.

Remember to use paragraphs and to organise your pointsclearly.

SpeakingRemember normal speaking behaviour, i.e. take turnswith your partner. Ask the examiner if you need him orher to repeat something.

Always give reasons for what you say and try to use arange of language.

Don't worry if you and your partner do not agree inPart 3 of the exam, but try to reach a conclusion, even ifit is only that you disagree.

cMaking more progress is 24.year-old Sneha Mistri,known as Mistri. She's looked into2 p&D deals. butwhen she wanted to release her first single herselilastyear, she realised that if she puiO for themanufacturing and distritrution, she wouldn,t be ableto afford a video. or a publicist. Instead. she contactedOD2, a download operator, who agreed. to sell hertrack online,

which freed up3 cash for advertising. Topav for'Intoxicating'. Mistri took out an 111.000 tan95.000 of which went on a video. 'T hate to think howmuch it's cost over the last five years,' she says, 'but ithas been an investment. You sle people on pop Idolshooting into the charts having only been trying forsix months but they disappear just as quickly Bydoing it this way I know that if - when - I make asuccess of this, I'11 be able to keep going.' Mistri hasnow signed to a management company and has livedates lined up throughout the summer.

DThen there's Bloke - aka Sophie, Abbe, Faith and Gina- whose prospects r"e- ro.y because after the successof teen boy bands Busted and McFIy lots of recordcompanies are hovering arounda girl groups who canplay their instruments. But their manager. JeremyNargi, is realistic, knowing that landing a deal with aIabel is just the first rung on a very shaky ladder anddoesn't necessarily mean that a single will get made.One ofhis other acts signed to Sony a couple ofyearsago, had S800,000 spent on them before their firstsingle and parted company with the label not longafter that single got to No 12. So the recordingcompanies are cautious. Keeping costs down. gettingBloke above the radar will, he reckons, cost 1100,000.'lt's good that there is a perceived markel for tfti* iyp"of group, but it's become like the space race,' Nargisays. 'It's "first man on the moon" stuff. People aresigning acts like this now - so we've got to make surewe get attention and that people._know we're here,even if we don't have a deal.'

EAlso there's an unsigned girl trio. Genie eueen, inLiverpool. They first came to light 12 months ago,when one oftheir songs popped into people's inboxesas an MP3. 'Just One Of Them Days' sounded like ahit. the rest of the songs turned outs to be amazing. buteven they had been dismissed by almost every majorlabel. The band is managed by Andy McCluske5r'We've seen some unsignel tocat pop grorrpr.' ,uy,Anna from the band, 'and the more we see them beingmessed around by their managers, the more werealise how lucky we are to have Andy' One of them,Lauren, has now quit, but the band have iust recordeda techno epic and there's a chance they:Il make it tothe bigtime. Last year, McCluskey took a holidayStanding on a beach in California, 'Tt hit me that if Istood on that beach for the next two years. rather thancontinuing with Genie Queen, T'd be 1250,000 betteroff. I thought to myself, "Why am I doing this?"'
