Cambridge B2 First

For the Cambridge B2 exam, students do not just need a sound knowledge of English grammar, but also an understanding of a range of phrasal verbs, idioms, word formations and collocations.

Candidates need to be skilled at listening for red herrings (= distracters), ‘skim’ reading to extract important information, writing in the appropriate style for their target reader using correct punctuation, and speaking with good pronunciation while answering questions fully and clearly.

Students often make the mistake of thinking they can enrol for this exam, turn up and pass. Unfortunately, unless you are extremely skilled in English then you will find this method doesn’t work! 

A well-prepared student, on the other hand, has a much better chance of adding this highly-regarded certificate to their list of achievements.
