“Worth the money”
Self-reported, shown with consent. After your exam, you can post your own review.
The free level test takes fifteen minutes, needs no account, and tells the truth — if you are B1, it says B1. From there, everything is one click: free exercises in every part, whole mock exams on the real clock, a plan paced to your exam date.
Whatever the exam asks of you, you can do it here — and get it marked.
Sit a whole paper under exam timing, then see every answer marked the moment you finish.
Take a mock testTrain one exam part at a time — Reading and Use of English, Writing, Listening and Speaking, each marked the moment you answer.
Practise B2 FirstThe same targeted practice a level up — every task type of the harder exam, calibrated to what CAE actually asks.
Practise C1 AdvancedA score on its own teaches nothing. What moves your band is knowing what went wrong in your own answer, while it is still fresh.
Every question comes back with the reasoning behind it — not a tick and a cross, but what the right answer turns on.
Send an essay and it comes back on the four Cambridge scales — with your own sentences quoted, not vague advice.
Say your answer and it comes back marked on what you actually said — the transcript builds as you talk. No microphone to hand? Type it instead.
No surprises on the day
The four papers in order with their timings, paper versus computer, what to bring and what stays outside the room — the whole day mapped, so nothing surprises you.
The same map a level up: two ninety-minute papers, eight parts in Reading & Use of English alone, and the fifteen-minute paired speaking test.
The recommended order for the months before: one honest mock, then your weakest paper part by part, with writing and speaking marked as you go.
— The plan
Your target is 8 exercises of every task type at an average of 70% — the solid tier. It is a preparation standard, not a prediction — nobody can tell you a number of exercises that earns a certificate.
Below is a worked example: a B2 First plan halfway done, five weeks from the sitting. Set your own exam, tier and date, and the site draws this for you — recalculated with every exercise you finish.

This week

About 3 a day for the 35 days left. With an exam date set, the total becomes a weekly share like this one.
Built for where you are, and how long you have left before the exam.
And no discount theatre. Some prep sites have been “70% off, ends tonight” for years. This is the everyday price — the same tomorrow as today.
A sample of every paper, and a full Reading & Use of English mock at each level, stay free for everyone — no card needed. Preparing a whole class? Talk to us about schools.
No. Every exercise is written by us to the published format of the exam — the same parts, the same number of questions, the same timing. Cambridge past papers are their copyright, and nothing here is endorsed by or affiliated with Cambridge.
160 on the Cambridge English Scale for B2 First, and 180 for C1 Advanced. Those are Cambridge's own reporting thresholds, and a grade A at B2 First (180–190) is already reported at C1 level.
On the four official Cambridge assessment scales — Content, Communicative Achievement, Organisation and Language — each from 0 to 5. Every note quotes the exact words you wrote, so you can see what the mark is based on rather than taking it on trust.
No. You can speak your answer and watch the transcript appear as you talk, or type it instead and finish the same drill. Pronunciation is never scored either way.
C1 Advanced is the next certificate up: eight parts in Reading & Use of English instead of seven, longer and denser texts, and marking calibrated to C1 — a B2-level answer will not be handed a C1 pass.
Yes. The first exercises of every part of every paper, plus one full Reading & Use of English mock at each level, stay free for everyone, with no card needed. You can see exactly how the marking reads before you decide.
Plans start at €3 and nothing renews — each one is a single payment that unlocks access for a fixed stretch of time, so there is nothing to remember to cancel.
Yes, exactly as in the real exam. The narrator, the pauses and the second play-through are all there, so the timing you practise with is the timing you will sit.
Yes. The whole site runs in your phone's browser — exercises, Listening with its recordings, Speaking with the live transcript, even full mock exams — with nothing to install. Your account is the same everywhere, so you can drill on the bus and sit the mock at a desk.
