Exam English (FCE & CAE) Preparation

Cambridge B2 First & C1 Advanced preparation classes

Prepare confidently for your Cambridge English exam with structured training, clear strategy and guided practice.
These lessons focus on how to pass the exam - not just improve your English.

Whether you are a teenager preparing for school certification or an adult needing an official qualification, the course builds exam technique, timing control and confidence in every paper.

What These Classes Focus On

Cambridge exams are predictable - but only if you understand the system behind them.

In these lessons you will learn:

• how each paper is designed

• what examiners are looking for

• how to manage time effectively

• how to avoid the most common mistakes

• how to structure answers to maximise marks

You will practise real exam-style tasks while learning the reasoning behind the correct answers.

The goal is simple:
you walk into the exam knowing exactly what to do.

Exams Covered

B2 First (FCE)
C1 Advanced (CAE)

Suitable for:

• teenagers preparing for school or university requirements

• adults needing certification for work or relocation

• learners stuck at the same level who need structured progress

How Lessons Work

Classes combine three key elements:

1. Exam technique training

We analyse questions together to understand:

• why an answer is correct

• why other options are wrong

• what the examiner expects

This removes guessing and builds confidence.

2. Guided practice

We work through real and adapted exam tasks:

• Reading & Use of English

• Writing

• Listening

• Speaking

You learn strategies for each section instead of memorising answers.

3. Targeted feedback

Your mistakes are tracked and revisited so progress is visible and measurable.

Materials Used

A structured coursebook provides the foundation, supported by:

• official practice papers

• additional exam exercises

• targeted worksheets

• speaking training activities

All materials are stored in your personal student account for organised revision.

Course Duration & Study Expectations

Standard preparation (level improvement)

Recommended when moving from one CEFR level to the next (e.g. B1 → B2 or B2 → C1)

Typical schedule

• 3–4 lesson hours per week

• plus 1–2 hours of home study per day

• duration: ~9 months / academic year

Cambridge estimates approximately 200 guided learning hours to progress between levels.

Intensive exam technique course

Recommended if your English level is already correct and you only need exam strategy.

Typical schedule

• focused practice and correction

• duration: 4–6 weeks

Goal: maximise your score using technique and familiarity.

Individual Or Group Classes

Lessons can be:

• Individual - personalised training and flexible pace

• Small group - practise speaking naturally and learn from others' mistakes

Both options include feedback and exam-focused correction.

Speaking Preparation

The speaking test is often the most stressful part of the exam.

You will practise:

• collaborative tasks

• extended answers

• comparing photos

• discussion strategies

• natural interaction techniques

You learn what examiners actually assess, not just "speaking more".

Homework & Progress Tracking

You receive structured homework based on exam tasks to reinforce strategies learned in class.

Progress is monitored through repeated task types so improvement becomes predictable rather than random.

Who This Course Is For

You should choose Exam English if you:

• need an official Cambridge certificate

• feel stuck at your level despite studying

• run out of time during exams

• don't understand why answers are wrong

• feel nervous about speaking tests
