Opinions about examinations “Well, people who think exams are not necessary are not any smarter or more stupid than people who think exams are necessary when they’re given to take one”. “To me exams are like girl friends: Too many questions. Difficult to understand. More explanation is needed. Result is always failed. So it is a waste of time for me”.

My hypothesis:

AdvancedUpper-IntermediateIntermediatePre-IntermediateUpper-ElementaryElementary

Russian State Exam Централизованно проводимый государством экзамен, введённый в 2001 году. При проведении экзамена на всей территории России применяются однотипные задания и единые методы оценки по 100-балльной шкале. После сдачи экзамена всем участникам выдаются сертификаты (которые действуют 2 года), где указаны полученные баллы по предметам. С 2009 ЕГЭ единственная форма выпускных экзаменов в школе и вступительных экзаменов в большинство вузов.

Test of English as a Foreign Language The goal of TOEFL is to estimate a level of English language of foreigner speakers. Many of them need to pass TOEFL to enter 240 universities of USA and Canada, many colleges in other English- speaking countries; business- structures and 150 world countries accept TOEFL certificates.

International English Language Testing System This test was developed to estimate level of English language skills of foreign speakers and hold since 1989.

Conclusion I have absolutely proved my hypothesis. I have found out that each exam is divided into the following parts: listening, reading, use of English, writing, and speaking. It’s really possible to create a program how to prepare for international exams. That’s why I consider my research work to be very useful and helpful. I have studied the following exams: the Russian State Exam, TOEFL, IELTS and Cambridge ESOL tests. From my point of view, the materials from my research work can be used by teachers and pupils for exams’ preparation.
