CPE Papers And Their Parts As Well As Their Marks

Hello my dear friends!
Last class we were discussing how much each part of the CPE is worth in terms of marks.
I decided to take a look at CPE Handbook for Teachers and it came in handy:

READING
Part 1 - Each correct answer in Part 1 receives 1 mark.
Part 2 - Each correct answer in Part 2 receives 2 marks.
Part 3 - Each correct answer in Part 3 receives 2 marks.
Part 4 - Each correct answer in Part 4 receives 2 marks.

USE OF ENGLISH
Part 1 - Each correct answer in Part 1 receives 1 mark.
Part 2 - Each correct answer in Part 2 receives 1 mark.
Part 3 - Each correct answer in Part 3 receives 2 marks.
Part 4 - Each correct answer in Part 4 receives up to 2 marks.
Part 5 - The four comprehension questions (40–43) each
receive 2 marks.

14 marks are available for the summary question
(44): up to 4 marks may be awarded for content and
up to 10 marks for summary writing skills.
LISTENING
Part 1 - Each correct answer in Part 1 receives 1 mark.
Part 2 - Each correct answer in Part 2 receives 1 mark.
Part 3 - Each correct answer in Part 3 receives 1 mark.
Part 4 - Each correct answer in Part 4 receives 1 mark.

That's it people...
I hope I have helped you somehow...

Good job, Diogo!
You've got 2 medals for your post!

This reinforces the point I made about managing time sensibly. One should not spend anytime longer working on part 3 than on part 2. Besides being easier, part 2 is worth more marks than part 3 (16 marks VS 14 marks). I rest my case! LOL
