Our Cambridge English exam procedures
Cancellation policy
Cambridge Assessment English allows a partial refund (about 40%) in case of absence on the exam dates, only by presenting a medical certificate stating the reason for the absence.
If the exam cannot be carried out on the scheduled date due to decisions taken by the competent authorities due to a possible resurgence of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Center will be able to reschedule the exam in other data as soon as the situation returns to normality.

On the day of the exam
Minors must bring authorization to leave the building.
You will need to bring everything you have with you into the classroom. The following will be allowed in the classroom: food, handkerchiefs, water exclusively in transparent bottles. No other drinks other than natural water are allowed. Metal or English-language bottles must be removed from the exam room. You will need to bring your own pens, pencils and erasers. Do not bring laptops, smartwatches, books in English with you. Mobile phones will be placed in an envelope with your name, sealed with a label and placed in a box which will be kept in a locked room for the duration of the entire exam; even watches, of any type, will be placed in an envelope of this type as they are not allowed in the classroom.
Please arrive at the exam venue AT LEAST half an hour before the start of the exam.
It will be possible to eat a snack during breaks in the classroom itself and you will have to go to the bathroom during the exam, not during breaks, to avoid crowds. If you forget something at the exam venue (for example a pencil) after taking the exam, these objects must be thrown away or destroyed for hygienic reasons. Therefore candidates should ensure that they have packed all personal belongings before leaving the exam venue.
