You Don't Know What You Don't Know. Consult with skilled cuers to determine if you exhibit common errors or if you have mislearned information. Talk to several instructors (not just your original Cued Speech instructor).

"I Get Nervous In Front of a Camera." If you think you cue better when you are not in front of a camera, then you've got additional work to do. You will be videotaped for the CAECS-E. So, if a camera makes you nervous, start practicing in the same way that you will be tested. Prepare a list of short words and sentences to cue while you videotape yourself. Make yourself immune to the camera so that your true cueing will be revealed. Need more help? Print out our mock expressive test.

What Are You Looking At? Do you know what the CAECS-E is designed to measure? What do the levels mean? The CAECS-E measures your ability to show appropriate prosody. If you don't know what prosody means, you definitely need to find out.

Guess What I Heard! Speculation is a problem when it comes to testing. Don't let rumors affect your performance. If you have a question, ask the TECUnit directly. The TECUnit staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to answer your questions.
