Thank you. I'm still quietly pleased with myself.

In the exam you have to read a page of text and answer questions on it. There is also a section of grammar and finally you have to converse in Russian with the tutor for 10 minutes. This certificate is Upper Intermediate. I would imagine this has different shades of interpretation in different countries & that would also encompass any recognition abroad. The exam comes at the end of 60 hours of classes taken September - May in a 3rd level college. If anyone does know of an internationally recognised cert could they post it up?
