My full review of Cambridge Academy
Four academies, one for each Cambridge exam
Cambridge Academy, from TCKR Labs, is built on a simple idea: every Cambridge exam deserves its own app. Instead of one crowded tool trying to serve every level at once, the platform is split into four academies, each with its own exams, its own progress and its own colour. Cambridge B1 Academy covers B1 Preliminary (PET), Cambridge B2 Academy covers B2 First (FCE), Cambridge C1 Academy covers C1 Advanced (CAE) and Cambridge C2 Academy covers C2 Proficiency (CPE). You choose the exam you are going to sit, and everything you see from then on is about that exam.
5,141 exams across the five papers
Across the four levels there are 5,141 practice exams, and each one is a complete part of the real exam. Use of English has 1,209 exams covering Multiple Choice, Open Cloze, Word Formation and Keyword Transformation. Reading has 991, from Signs & Notices at B1 to Cross Matching and Missing Paragraphs at the higher levels. Listening has 654 exams on real audio, Writing has 1,080 tasks across emails, essays, articles, reports, reviews, letters, stories and proposals, and Speaking has 1,207 exams with their photographs, questions and timings. Every exam is scored out of 10, with an explanation for every answer, and 6 or more counts as a pass.
The same strong tools in every level
Whichever academy you open, the toolkit is the same. The listening player lets you change the speed, skip back ten seconds and read the full transcript, and each explanation jumps to the moment in the recording where the answer was heard. Writing has a live word counter and an AI correction that returns a score, feedback, suggestions and a list of grammar and spelling mistakes. Speaking has a recorder that keeps your recordings on your device. On top of that, the Exam Simulator runs a whole paper against the clock with no answers until the end, and the Exam Generator writes a new exam on any topic you choose.
Tips, notes and a game for busy days
Every part comes with exam tips and every Writing task with a model answer, and you can keep private notes on any exam and look words up without leaving it. Progress tracking shows how ready you are, your scores week by week and the parts that need more work. For days when you only have ten minutes, Lingo is a game of short English challenges spread over 80 stages, with XP, streaks, daily gifts and badges.
Free to start, PRO per level
There is no trial that runs out and no card needed. Without an account you can open the first exam of every part, read the tips and play the first four Lingo challenges. A free account, created with your Google or Apple sign-in, adds a second exam in every part, one simulated exam, two AI credits and two dictionary look-ups. PRO is bought for one level at a time, by the week, the month or the year, and unlocks every exam in that level, unlimited simulations, AI credits at every renewal, stronger AI models for Writing and Speaking feedback and all 80 Lingo stages.

Who I'd recommend it to
Cambridge Academy is a great fit if you know which Cambridge exam you are sitting and want a large, well organised bank of practice built around exactly that exam. It also works nicely for learners moving up the ladder, because the same tools and the same account carry over from B1 all the way to C2. Have a look at cambridgeacademy.app, pick your level and try the first exam of any part straight away.
