Final Exams 2015 camino a los exámenes internacionales...

Por increíble que parezca ya se esta acercando el fin de año, y con este el fin de las clases. El ciclo 2015 finalizara el 18 de Diciembre. Este año todos los alumnos se presentaran a un examen final que los preparara para rendir el examen internacional en el 2016. TODOS los alumnos deberán presentar dicho examen final en Diciembre del 2015, aunque el examen internacional en el 2016 es optativo. La fecha del examen Oral (listening and speaking) es 14 de Diciembre a las 17 30 hs y tendrá un costo adicional de 250 pesos por alumno que es el arancel de la profesora externa que tomara el examen. El examen escrito se realizara el viernes 18 a las 17 30 hs y no tendrá costo adicional alguno ya que yo misma hare las correcciones. Los exámenes serán modelos de los exámenes tomados por Cambridge en todos los casos.
El arancel del examen oral (250 pesos) debe ser abonado antes del 15 de Noviembre sin excepción.
