To enroll to take the exam I suggest you go to Cultura Inglesa Asa Sul 709/908 Sul. Parking is easier.
The last day for enrollment is on 30th September. Should you miss this date there will be an extra fee (usually around R$50) but it will only be for a week or two after this date.
Payment
The cost of the exam is R$542
If payment is made in August the price can be divided into 4 times
If the payment is made in September the price can be divided into 3.
Exam date
The dates of the exam are as follows:
- Reading, Writing, use of English and Listening: 10th December
- Speaking: 11th December
Extra information about the day of the test
The speaking test of the 11th will last until the late afternoon. I suggest you take the day off from work and maybe not go to bed late the previous night. You will find the test tiring and it will finish around 5.p.m.
On the 11th the speaking test will most probably be in the afternoon i.e. 14:00 till 16:00.
Note: When you receive your exam number after enrollment you will also have these dates confirmed and the exact time you will be doing the oral exam.
