What are English exams like in other countries? In the UK, they are horrible: analysing poetry, Shakespeare, books. In other countries, is it basic English? What exam questions are there?

It's just basic English. It's like learning a foreign language in U.S.

English exams in the USA varies. I live in the state of New York, and our English exams are boring. We have to write essays, multiple choice , short response , and graphic organizer.

@superstrongman

consider yourself lucky! Id be in heaven our English exams included multiple choice! Analysis is hell. Poetry is hell. We have to write like 50 pages in 2 years (that's no exaggeration). 40 of them are for coursework (work in the class that contributes to your exams); im about 30% through the 2 years and have done about 20 pages already! Urgh...

My country has O Level format english...and instead of improving English, it destroys logic and makes you have even worse english.

Where I live (Spain), all the questions are based off dumb stereotypes and SERIOUSLY basic English (I'm 15).

I pass every exam with 9.7/10 (more or less) and the only issues I have with the dumb teacher is the fact that she hardly speaks the language. She counts all the alternative words I use as if they were wrong. I'll give an example:

I wrote "she called her parents" as an answer, and she corrected "called" and said it was "phoned".
Yes, I understand that "called" is more of an American word (we're being tought UK English, and, by the way, I was born in England), but it is used a LOT in England.

Simply, my mistakes actually are NOT mistakes, as they are incorporated in the "everyday" language, something the teacher WANTS us to do.

I am, ironically, taking American Cambridge, so my answer may not be very helpful to you.

In Spain, many questions involve simple verbs (past simple, 1st and 2nd conditional, etc).
Others are basic text comprehention, listening excercizes and essays related to every-day life.

What's American Cambridge?
------------------------------------------------------------
American Cambridge is essentially an American push for S.T.E.M. (Science Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) careers.

We are using British Cambridge curriculum. We are basically learning advanced British Schooling.
