Hello Oshiro and all interested in CAE, I talked to Lukasz 2 days ago when he and his wife came for my optional conversation class. They use CAE Gold Plus Exam Maximiser with key and audio by Longman Pearson in his group. He mentioned that they just finished Unit 1,so he still has no specific opinion of the book yet.:(
I used to use FCE Gold Exam Maximiser for FCE group and I found it very effective to better prepare students for FCE. If it's possible,download it from rapidshare. SET THE TIMER and do at least 1 test of Reading,Lsitening & Writing a week as to best prepare yourself to the time limit and the format of the exam. the look of the student book: http://www.pearson.ch/1449/9781405876803/default.aspx the results of my googling: http://www.google.com/search?q=cae+gold+plus+exam+maximiser&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7SKPB_en Good luck and if there's anything else you need to know,just ask me! I often run into Lukasz's teacher on the hallway.I'll ask tips and advice from him,as well if he has guided any other students before.:) Good night and don't worry too much about your mistakes,Ali or Eduardo. I can correct some major mistakes,but the minor ones will disappear automatically sooner or later.;) Pln On Nov 10, 2:26 pm, Rafael Oshiro <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello everybody! > > Pln, two weeks ago I ordered a book from Amazon called 'Objective CAE', > a Cambridge press book.
