# Success in Trinity's ISE exam (Reading and Writing)

Trinity’s [Integrated Skills in English (ISE) exam](https://www.trinitycollege.com/qualifications/english-language/ISE) is designed for those who need to demonstrate their level of English proficiency either for further academic study, or for work purposes. As with any exam, students need to learn what to expect, and how best to tackle specific tasks.

 

Summary

This session was for teachers who already have some knowledge and experience with ISE, but who would benefit from a more detailed look at the assessment criteria so they understand how examiners mark performance.

During the webinar, the presenter focused on the tasks that students find most challenging in the reading and writing module of ISE, and offered practical guidance on how teachers should approach practice and preparation to help students succeed.
