Would it be better to take TKT Module 2 separately?
You can take any number of modules in a single sitting, whether it’s one, two, or all three modules. However, please note that attempting several modules at once requires a significant amount of exam preparation. During the exam, it consumes a lot of energy and demands a higher level of concentration. Compared to TKT Module 1, TKT Module 2 is short, and will be more feasible to take together with TKT Module 3.
How will you be assessed?
Each test consists of 80 questions, which are 3-option multiple choice and matching questions. The duration of the test will be 1 hour and 20 minutes (80 minutes). Completing each module earns you a certificate with a Band.
A Band indicates your performance in the test. There are four Bands, ranging from Band 1 to Band 4, with Band 1 being the lowest and Band 4 the highest. Here are the four Bands along with the number of correct answers required:
- Band 4: 70 or more correct answers out of 80 questions
- Band 3: 45-69 correct answers out of 80 questions
- Band 2: 16-44 correct answers out of 80 questions
- Band 1: 0-15 correct answers out of 80 questions
Although you are awarded a certificate regardless of the Band you have obtained, from an employability perspective, Band 3 is considered the minimum. Any Band lower than Band 3 carries very insignificant recognition.
How can I take the test?
If you follow a prep course at a language institute, they will usually take care of exam registration. If you study on your own, you will need to register for the tests at a Cambridge-approved exam center. Don’t worry; it’s a straightforward process.
- Choose a Cambridge approved exam centre of your choice
- Contact the centre for details - exam date(s), fee, registration deadline
- Complete your registration and receive your 'confirmation of entry'
- Take the test on the specific date mentioned in the 'confirmation of entry'
The procedure may vary slightly from country to country and from center to center, but in general, it is similar to the one described above.
How much does it cost to do TKT Module 2?
If you have chosen the self-study option, it will cost you only the exam fees. The exam fee varies from country to country, and there could be slight variations in the fee from center to center within the same country. However, at the end of the day, the self-study option will save you a considerable amount of money.
Should I do TKT Module 2 prior to progress to Module 3?
All the TKT Modules are stand-alone, so you can start with any module first. It is important to note that the numbers associated with core modules (1, 2, and 3) do not denote any progression from one module to another.
