Cambridge B2 Academy

Cambridge B2 Academy is built around one goal: getting you ready for B2 First (FCE) part by part. It has 1,444 exams across Use of English, Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking, an explanation for every question and an AI that corrects your essays. The first exam of every part is free to open in your browser, no account needed.

A part-by-part route to B2 First

B2 First is the exam where a lot of learners discover that being good at English and being good at the exam are not quite the same thing. The task types are specific, the timing is tight, and Use of English in particular punishes anyone who has not practised the format. Cambridge B2 Academy, from TCKR Labs, is designed around exactly that problem. It lays out 1,444 exams the way the real FCE papers are laid out, so every session is practice for a task you will actually meet.

Use of English gets the attention it deserves

With 367 exams, Use of English is the largest section in the app. You get Multiple Choice, Open Cloze, Word Formation and Keyword Transformation, the four parts where B2 candidates usually win or lose the most marks. Keyword Transformation is the one I would point most students towards: doing it over and over, with an explanation after each attempt, is the fastest way I know to stop losing easy points.

The rest of the exam is just as complete

Reading has 221 exams covering Long Text, Missing Paragraphs and Multiple Matching. Listening has 235 exams with Different Situations, Gapped Text, Matching and Multiple Choice, all on real audio you can pause, skip back ten seconds and slow down, with a full transcript. Writing has 300 tasks across Essay, Report, Review, Letter and Article, and Speaking has 321 exams for General Questions, Images, Bubbles Discussion and Final Discussion, each with its questions, pictures and timings.

Writing feedback without waiting for a teacher

Writing is the paper students tend to practise least, mostly because nobody is around to mark it. Here you write with a live word counter, ask for a correction and get a score, detailed feedback, suggestions and a list of your grammar and spelling mistakes. It is a study aid rather than an official mark, but it is a very good way to spot the habits that cost you marks.

Mock exams on your own schedule

The Exam Simulator lets you sit a full Reading & Use of English, Listening or Writing paper with a clock and no help until the end. Then you go through every part with its score, the explanations and your time compared with the real exam's 1 h 15 min for Reading & Use of English. The Exam Generator is a nice extra when you want a new exam on a topic you actually care about.
