CELAT Cambridge English- score?
Hi, I would appreciate if anyone could help with a couple of questions I have about the CELAT admissions test for undergrad English at Cambridge which took place yesterday.
1) Do you get to find out your score, and if so, when? For some reason my friend believes you find out 10 days after the exam but I have no idea where she got that info from lol
2) During the interview, could you be asked about the essay you wrote in the exam (in the same way you could be asked about your written work/ personal statement)? Or do your college just find out your score and then use that mark as part of holistically judging your application?
Would greatly appreciate any words of wisdom! Thanks 🤍

Hi, I applied for English at Cam last year. 1) As far as I know, you can't find out your CELAT score unless the college tells you post decision (or you ask, which I didn't). and 2) I really doubt they'd ask about your CELAT essay in the interview- they didn't remotely mention the CELAT in mine. They wouldn't expect you to remember what you wrote almost a month ago and on the admissions websites they make no mention of using the CELAT for anything other than assessing your practical criticism ability. I think way before COVID they used to ask about it when it was still done in person on the same day as the interview, but they don't do that now.
Hope that helps, good luck!
