How do I know that my CEQ registration is successful?

Our staff may reach out via email or phone at 63630330 / 82008500, so please check your Inbox, as well as your Junk/Spam folders, regularly and respond to our calls. If we are unable to contact you after multiple attempts, your registration may be voided.

 

I have previously registered for the CEQ test. Can I apply again?

Yes. Currently, there is no limit to the number of times an applicant can register for the CEQ test. Applicants may register multiple times for the same test.

​

I registered for the CEQ test but decide to withdraw as my child/ward will not be able to attend the test due to some urgent matters. Can I reschedule the test or request for a refund?

No. Test fees are strictly non-refundable/non-transferable after your registration has been submitted. There will be no make-up or rescheduling of test sessions for withdrawn, late, or absent candidates, regardless of the reason.

​

When will my child/ward receive the test timetable and other documents?

For A2 Key for Schools and B1 Preliminary for Schools paper-based tests, successful applicants will receive 02 confirmation emails approximately 2-3 weeks before their test. For all computer-based/digital tests, the confirmation emails will be sent approximately 5-10 working days before their test. The first comprises the 'Confirmation of Entry and Timetable' and 'Summary Regulations for Candidates' attachments. The second comprises the 'Instructions to Candidates' and 'Directional Map to Test Venue' attachments. Remember to check your Inbox/Junk/Spam folders, for these emails.

​

My child/ward has completed the CEQ test. When and where can I view the results?

Candidates should register online for the candidates' results portal at candidates.cambridgeenglish.org using their ID Number and Secret Number indicated on their Confirmation of Entry letter so that they will be notified via email as soon as their results are released.

​

I have registered for the online candidates' results portal very early. Does that mean that my results will be released earlier?

No, registering early for the candidates' results portal does not expedite the release of your results. The results release period is fixed and cannot be shortened. However, candidates should still register for the portal to access their results and receive email notifications as soon as they are available.
