What's it like to take a computer- based exam?

Did you know that preparing for computer-based Cambridge English Qualifications is just the same as for the paper-based exams?

The computer-based exams are user-friendly, don’t require any technical skills and have many useful features. Candidates listen with headphones and can control the volume. They will also receive their results more quickly than those taking paper-based exams.
