Learning Materials for New Linguaskill
We recommend that all candidates taking Linguaskill prepare well in advance to give themselves the best chance of being successful in their live test.
Students need to familiarise themselves with what to expect on test day, the structure of the tests, the types of questions they will face and the amount of time they have to complete each module. They also need to practise taking the test as much as possible so that they can feel confident on exam day and make best use of the time available to them.
On 8 October 2025 we will be implementing an update to the New Linguaskill Writing test. In the current test, candidates have 45 minutes to write one essay. This will change to two tasks – writing an essay and an email – which must be completed in 55 minutes.
You can find out more about this change, including links to new Writing sample tests, on our website, https://www.cambridgeenglish.org/exams-and-tests/linguaskill/writing-test-changes/.
In addition to the free materials we have available on our website, we have a range of paid for courses and practice test books. Click below to find out more.
