Episode 8: Big news from Cambridge Asses...

Frank Carrizo Zirit
About this episode

These things rarely happen... That we get big news from Cambridge Assessment English. The organization is undergoing some major rebranding and redesign, not only about their corporate image, but with the way they will handle exams. They'll remove tasks, add other options to take the exams, and 'finally' embrace some new technology to offer new ways of going through the Cambridge experience, among other things. If you're preparing to take the exam any time between what is left of the year or next year, what I have to tell you about in this episode will definitely interest you.

Also, I've just opened a TikTok account where you can also follow me. So, drop by and say hi!
