Hello everyone, if you are taking the LanguageCert exam this year I wish you every success, I really hope you all pass whatever level you are taking. Happy new year to you all, from David! And write to me below with anything you want to say!
@@simratkaurguraya982 Hi Simrat, an appeal might help you if you are just one mark short from a pass but then again they might reassess your work and give you a lower score ! I think the best thing would be to take the exam again after you have done more preparation. You can always try more of the sample tests on the LanguageCert website and assess your performance so you know you are ready for the exam. Good luck, David
Very good...i am impressed. Well i want prepared for it.. but my English now strong, but now i just see your video and i think this is the best video for motivation. Thank you
@@The-English-Professorhello David,hope you are fine. My question is what is the marks criteria for speaking B2 Communicater online. Does marks divided on all 4 sections?like each part 12.5 marks?
One thing I did not mention in this video is that you should try to smile during the speaking exam. When people smile it gives a better soound to their voice and sounds more natural ! If you have any questions about this video or the LanguageCert exams please send them to me here on RUclips i.e. post them below in comments !
Hi David, I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Today I got my speaking exam result and I got 50/50. It was my second attempt on as I previously had a PASS score and my university was requiring an higher mark. I was feeling so nervous, then I watched your videos a couple of times and I was practicing along with your question. Without them I’m not sure I could get such an high score. Thank you so much!
Dear Michela, I am extremely pleased for you. Your message is beautifully written which is testament to your excellent score in the exam. May I ask where you are from? Please recommend my channel to youir family and friends. I also have another channel called 'Towers of the Earth' which I recommend that you watch and and subscribe to. Well done and best wishes, David

@@shravandach9360 Hi Shravan, well first of all a student's ability in the speaking part of the exam is marked based on certain key criteria. For example, suitable vocabulary, correct use of grammar , pronunciation accuracy etc. Therefore, I cannot say that the pass mark is 50%. It is the overall impression a student gives of his or her ability. The written part of the exam has a pass mark set at a percentage but this is not normally disclosed. As a general rule anything above 50% passes with levels of pass ( pass, high pass etc.) given for higher percentage scores. I hope that answers your question. If you need more clarification I suggest you contact LanguageCert directly. Good luck with your exam ! David
Hi David, first of all thank you for your videos, they are very useful, then I just need to know more about scores in written exams and if you are going to pass it anyway by going better in reading and listening instead of writing. Thanks

Yes Meherun this is quite a good answer. Is it possible to introduce some more adjectives? For example- a big, modern shopping mall. Or two high schools or a primary schoold and a secondary school.....two beautifully ornate mosques ! The more adjectives you use the more proficient you sound ! David

@@The-English-Professor These videos have helped me a lot, in a few days I am going to take the A1 speaking and listening exam and these tips are very important to me, if you have any other advice it would be very well received
Well my advice is to read the text first then the questions. Then start with the first question and try to understand what information the question is asking for. You need to think about synonyms perhaps to help you. Go through all the questions in this way. Follow the instructions carefully. When you have to choose one correct answer from three or four possibilities, eliminate any crazy answers first. Good luck.
Hi David, please can you tell me how can i got a high pass marks. because i have already give this exam 2 time but i gain only passing marks.I dont know whcih one my mistake even i think my preparation is good but i am so much weak in grammer plus tenses. can you tell me this examinar count my grammer mistakes.
Hi, the examiner counts all of the mistakes which students make. I can see from your writing that you have a problem recognising which tense is necessary and what form that relates to in a verb. You really need lessons with a qualified teacher. David
Thanks for making this video I am going to prepare for B2 online exam but my speaking is weak pls give me some tips and suggestion about my speaking to pass my exam.
sir please help me I'm so worried about this exam. and on Saturday 10 Dec on 10am ma exam will be conduct.please pray for me its my 2nd try to appear in exams
Hello Mr. David, good day, there is no proper exam pattern (latest) available on net, kindly explain the pattern and the marking procedure of Languagecert Selt B1 exam. Thank you.
Hi Munajaved Javed, yes these tips are exactly the same for the C1 test but remember the level of English used in the C1 test is higher. This means you should use a higher level of vocabulary and grammar where appropriate. I personally think the difference between B2 and C1 level is mainly the vocabulary. For example if you were talking about the performance of a musical band, at B2 level you could say ' The band was really good'. At C1 level you could say ' The band was tremendous'. Good luck ! David
Hi, david sir.. i hav some questions i want to share with you. i have some financial problems, i want to give language cert test very quickly.First question where will i get language cert materials. Second question when will next intake for uk.
Thanks for your comment and questions. You can find materials for LanguageCert at languagecert.org . You can use any English language books at the appropriate level to prepare for the exam. Regarding the next intake , intake for what? You do not specify ?.
David, might it also be an option to use other tenses than the question uses? For example, ''Describe the area where you are living''. ''I have always lived in a small town, etc.,...'', or ''I used to live in a city, but nowadays I live in a village, etc...''?
Hi Martin, yes of course you are correct in saying other tenses are possible. Really it all depends on the situation. More tenses shows a better range of English. Having said that 'I have always lived...' is still technically a present tense (present perfect). You could also write, 'I used to live in a big city but now I live in a pretty, little village', which again shows more range in language. At the end of the day it is up to the student to show how good his or her English is ! David
Hi Martin, a very good question. Yes of course you can use other tenses but they must be appropriate to the time period you are speaking or writing about. 'I used to live in a city...' is an excellent demonstration of a wider knowledge of tense use. Really the posibilties of tense use are wide. At the end of the day you need to show the examiners what you know. David
Thank you for your help to candidates!! But I want to ask you Do you think is appropriate to speak in you candidates through a mask when the exams are in from computer?
If there is nobody within 2 metres of where you are sitting , I do not see why you need to wear a mask. It depends on the location and the exam centre though !
@@The-English-Professor however, it is difficult for 15-year-olds to understand their interlocutor through the mask. I would suggest the interlocutors not to wear masks in the exams especially when they are done online. thank you for your answer!!
Dear David, what is "animal camp"' in italian language? I know that in a question there were these words. Could you tell me something about this question?
Dear Anna, well, I am not sure what is meant by 'animal camp' when it stands alone. Can you remember what the whole question was? If you can, please send it to me. Anyway, an animal camp might be a type of zoo or farm (maybe with animals such as sheep, cows, goats, horses etc.) combined with a holiday. David
@@The-English-Professor thanks for your answer. it was the first question. they asked if in town there was animal camp. I think... the internet connection was bad and I was in the panic!!!
Well you could send an email to Language Cert and ask them what the question was exactly. Tell them it was not clear on the day of your exam because of a bad internet connection. David
Please tell me I feel worried about it ..I think there is no problem for a Master student in UK about B2 ..B2 is acceptable for master students ? Or just undergraduate student?
Hello, thanks for your question. My advice to you is you should contact some of the universities you are interested in going to and ask them directly. Different universities might have different requirements but as far as I am aware B2 should be sufficient at most but please double check with the universities in question. Good luck, David
Dear Bushra Maqsood, follow up questions are sometimes used if a candidate has not spoken for long enough, so the fact that the interlocutor did not ask you follow up questions is not necessarily a bad thing. David
Hi David! How are you? Hope you are doing well.... I have to apply for UK work visa, like i have an offer of a job? What level of language cert i have to do? I just want an equivalent of IELTS General Training which should be accepted by UK embassy as well. Thanks
Hi Muxamal, well most of my tips are in my videos so make sure you watch all of them. Which level of exam are you taking? My best tip is probably - listen carefully to the questions and tasks and don't speak too fast. Good luck, David
Hi Sana Gul, it is possible that some questions will be the same but do not count on it. The questions will be at a similar level of English though. David
Dear Tariq, I cannot say if you are able to retake the exam after being banned. You need to contact LanguageCert directly to find out what the 'Maladministration' order means. Good luck, David
Is it mandatory or compulsory to get "highpass" in cert B2 ?? I mean if i'll just "pass" ?? I am going to apply for master's in University of bradford and they are asking for languageCert B2 certificate.. So if i just pass the exam with "Pass" grade.. Is it still acceptable?
If your university is asking for 6.5 equivalent IELTS score then you have to score more than 38 in your cert B2, which will then equivalent to 6.5 or will consider as "HIGH PASS". If you just pass the exam with the score of less than 38, then it won't be equal to 6.5
Hello sir.. I did my speaking online but languagecert emailed me that you used voice imposter which i did not.. What can i do now? If i appeal on them how much chances that i succeed in it.. Or what steps they will take after the appeal..?
Hello Shah Zaib, to be honest with you I have never heard of this situation before. I think you should send an email to them and assure them that you did not use a 'voice imposter'. Ask them what evidence they have that you used a voice imposter? Maybe they will review the matter. Good luck, David
They work in different ways. For example IELTS band score 5.5 is equal to LangCert Communicator (B2) level. IELTS Band score 6.5 = LangCert Expert (C1) level. The IELTS exam has one set of questions and your level is assessed on how you answer those questions. In LangCert the questions are all aimed at the level of the test you are taking. LangCert C2 is difficult and is one of the highest bands of pass for IELTS. I hope that helps.
Hello everyone, if you are taking the LanguageCert exam this year I wish you every success, I really hope you all pass whatever level you are taking. Happy new year to you all, from David! And write to me below with anything you want to say!

Hello David, can you please help me with some clues in answering the reading test part 1, 2,3 and 4?
Well my advice is to read the text first then the questions. Then start with the first question and try to understand what information the question is asking for. You need to think about synonyms perhaps to help you. Go through all the questions in this way. Follow the instructions carefully. When you have to choose one correct answer from three or four possibilities, eliminate any crazy answers first. Good luck.
Hi David, please can you tell me how can i got a high pass marks. because i have already give this exam 2 time but i gain only passing marks.I dont know whcih one my mistake even i think my preparation is good but i am so much weak in grammer plus tenses. can you tell me this examinar count my grammer mistakes.
Hi, the examiner counts all of the mistakes which students make. I can see from your writing that you have a problem recognising which tense is necessary and what form that relates to in a verb. You really need lessons with a qualified teacher. David
Thanks for making this video I am going to prepare for B2 online exam but my speaking is weak pls give me some tips and suggestion about my speaking to pass my exam.
Hello Sajid Ali, you should find a friend who speaks English and who you can practice the questions with. David

Hello Mr. David, good day, there is no proper exam pattern (latest) available on net, kindly explain the pattern and the marking procedure of Languagecert Selt B1 exam. Thank you.
Hye david crofts how are u dear. Can i ask some questions about language cert?
Yes of course, please ask your question.
hello sir can you kindly guide details of marks division of paper
No, unfortunately I cannot do that because it is propriety information. David
Hi david I want to ask that these trick and tips are similar for C1 test?
Hi Munajaved Javed, yes these tips are exactly the same for the C1 test but remember the level of English used in the C1 test is higher. This means you should use a higher level of vocabulary and grammar where appropriate. I personally think the difference between B2 and C1 level is mainly the vocabulary. For example if you were talking about the performance of a musical band, at B2 level you could say ' The band was really good'. At C1 level you could say ' The band was tremendous'. Good luck ! David
Hi David!
Thanks for good motivations.
But I have to face some problem ,I want to ask u that ,is there any difference between B1 and B2 level?
Yes definitely. The vocabulary, the grammar and general communicative level is different.
@@The-English-Professor Thank u so much David, for your guidance .it give me more help.God bless you!☺️
It is my pleasure to help you ! David
@@The-English-Professor 😊
Hello Sir David can you help me in speaking test
Hi, david sir.. i hav some questions i want to share with you. i have some financial problems, i want to give language cert test very quickly.First question where will i get language cert materials. Second question when will next intake for uk.
Thanks for your comment and questions. You can find materials for LanguageCert at languagecert.org . You can use any English language books at the appropriate level to prepare for the exam. Regarding the next intake , intake for what? You do not specify ?.
Hello .pls is language cert exam acceptable as ukvi for health care work visa.is it recomendable and license in uk
David, might it also be an option to use other tenses than the question uses? For example, ''Describe the area where you are living''. ''I have always lived in a small town, etc.,...'', or ''I used to live in a city, but nowadays I live in a village, etc...''?
Hi Martin, yes of course you are correct in saying other tenses are possible. Really it all depends on the situation. More tenses shows a better range of English. Having said that 'I have always lived...' is still technically a present tense (present perfect). You could also write, 'I used to live in a big city but now I live in a pretty, little village', which again shows more range in language. At the end of the day it is up to the student to show how good his or her English is ! David
Hi Martin, a very good question. Yes of course you can use other tenses but they must be appropriate to the time period you are speaking or writing about. 'I used to live in a city...' is an excellent demonstration of a wider knowledge of tense use. Really the posibilties of tense use are wide. At the end of the day you need to show the examiners what you know. David
@@The-English-Professor David, thank you for your reply 👍
If my name is Madiha Arshad then I'll have to spell Arshad as the family name?
Yes that is correct. David
Hi sir
please send me the link for practice on B2 test .
www.languagecert.org/en/language-exams/english/languagecert-international-esol/b2-communicator-2281
In listening there are total 26 questions if i have corrected 18 out of 26 then what will be my result ?
It should be a 'pass'.
Thank you for your help to candidates!! But I want to ask you
Do you think is appropriate to speak in you candidates through a mask when the exams are in from computer?
If there is nobody within 2 metres of where you are sitting , I do not see why you need to wear a mask. It depends on the location and the exam centre though !
@@The-English-Professor however, it is difficult for 15-year-olds to understand their interlocutor through the mask. I would suggest the interlocutors not to wear masks in the exams especially when they are done online. thank you for your answer!!
Dear David, what is "animal camp"' in italian language? I know that in a question there were these words. Could you tell me something about this question?
Dear Anna, well, I am not sure what is meant by 'animal camp' when it stands alone. Can you remember what the whole question was? If you can, please send it to me. Anyway, an animal camp might be a type of zoo or farm (maybe with animals such as sheep, cows, goats, horses etc.) combined with a holiday. David
@@The-English-Professor thanks for your answer. it was the first question. they asked if in town there was animal camp. I think... the internet connection was bad and I was in the panic!!!
Well you could send an email to Language Cert and ask them what the question was exactly. Tell them it was not clear on the day of your exam because of a bad internet connection. David
Please tell me I feel worried about it ..I think there is no problem for a Master student in UK about B2 ..B2 is acceptable for master students ? Or just undergraduate student?
Hello, thanks for your question. My advice to you is you should contact some of the universities you are interested in going to and ask them directly. Different universities might have different requirements but as far as I am aware B2 should be sufficient at most but please double check with the universities in question. Good luck, David
@@The-English-Professor thanks you sir David so so so much 🍫🍫🍫🥰🥰.. Tomorrow I will contact with the university✌️
Hi David sir
hi, is this video for B2?
Yes it is.
Thank you. I was afraid it was A1 LanguageCert test 😅 I panicked
Yesterday was my exam but proctor did'nt ask a single follow up question is it okay or something need to be worried?
Dear Bushra Maqsood, follow up questions are sometimes used if a candidate has not spoken for long enough, so the fact that the interlocutor did not ask you follow up questions is not necessarily a bad thing. David
Hi David! How are you?
Hope you are doing well....
I have to apply for UK work visa, like i have an offer of a job?
What level of language cert i have to do? I just want an equivalent of IELTS General Training which should be accepted by UK embassy as well.
Thanks
Normally it is B1 level which is needed for a work visa. David
My language cert exam will be after one week.can you give me some tips about this.please
Hi Muxamal, well most of my tips are in my videos so make sure you watch all of them. Which level of exam are you taking? My best tip is probably - listen carefully to the questions and tasks and don't speak too fast. Good luck, David
Hello sir I regular watching your videos how I passed this test
Dear Sardar Ali, I am very happy for you, well done. Please tell your friends to watch my videos too. Regards, David
Hy David! How are you doing? I want to ask you that they will ask the same questions by us as you are describing ?
Hi Sana Gul, it is possible that some questions will be the same but do not count on it. The questions will be at a similar level of English though. David
did uk accept language cert exam for graduate entrepreneur visa?
Please check with your local Britsih embassy. David
Hi David Sir,
Can i reappear in languagecert B2 exam after banned (Maladministration) in speaking exam. Please guide me.
Dear Tariq, I cannot say if you are able to retake the exam after being banned. You need to contact LanguageCert directly to find out what the 'Maladministration' order means. Good luck, David
Is it mandatory or compulsory to get "highpass" in cert B2 ??
I mean if i'll just "pass" ??
I am going to apply for master's in University of bradford and they are asking for languageCert B2 certificate..
So if i just pass the exam with "Pass" grade..
Is it still acceptable?
As far as I am aware a 'pass' is sufficient but I recommend that you double check this with the university. David
@@The-English-Professor okay
Thank you sir
I also want to know that pass would be enough because I'm trying to get admission in masters research program....
If your university is asking for 6.5 equivalent IELTS score then you have to score more than 38 in your cert B2, which will then equivalent to 6.5 or will consider as "HIGH PASS".
If you just pass the exam with the score of less than 38, then it won't be equal to 6.5
@@wowwow8302 okay Sir thank u so much

Hi Aisha ! David
Hello sir..
I did my speaking online but languagecert emailed me that you used voice imposter which i did not.. What can i do now? If i appeal on them how much chances that i succeed in it.. Or what steps they will take after the appeal..?
Hello Shah Zaib, to be honest with you I have never heard of this situation before. I think you should send an email to them and assure them that you did not use a 'voice imposter'. Ask them what evidence they have that you used a voice imposter? Maybe they will review the matter. Good luck, David
which is more difficult between LanguageCert C2 vs IELTS exam?
They work in different ways. For example IELTS band score 5.5 is equal to LangCert Communicator (B2) level. IELTS Band score 6.5 = LangCert Expert (C1) level. The IELTS exam has one set of questions and your level is assessed on how you answer those questions. In LangCert the questions are all aimed at the level of the test you are taking. LangCert C2 is difficult and is one of the highest bands of pass for IELTS. I hope that helps.
