Exams & Qualifications / Students

Junior Level

Anglia’s step by step approach to testing encourages and motivates students to make clear and effective progress!

 

When you take the Junior level exam you show that you know important words in English for a lot of the things you find in important places in your life, like home and school.

You also show us that you know words for things like sports, food, transport and clothes.

At this level you also show us that you know important words for doing things (verbs) like watch, play, listen, drink, sit, etc.

You can show us some grammar, too, like the difference between 'she and he' and 'her and his'.

Your Junior certificate means you are really on the way to understanding lots of important things about English, both the words and the way the words are put together.
