As part of our series of blogs summarising Research Notes articles relevant to teachers preparing learners for Cambridge exams, here we look at the recent revisions to Key and Preliminary Writing.

'Health checks' are periodically conducted on our exams to make sure they remain relevant to both learner needs and new approaches to assessment and learning. Debbie Howden and Angela Wright tell us about the market research employed to gather feedback on A2 Key, A2 Key for Schools, B1 Preliminary, and B1 Preliminary for Schools.

In Revising the A2 Key and B1 Preliminary Reading exam, Marianne Pickles, Tony Clark and Mark Elliott from our Assessment, Research and Thought Leadership, and Validation and Data Services departments, report on how one of our regular exam 'health checks' led to the revision of two of our exams.
