Real Cambridge exam practice — free online
Cambridge Ready is a free platform for Cambridge English exam preparation: over 1,300 exercises from real past papers for B2 First (FCE), C1 Advanced (CAE) and C2 Proficiency (CPE), with instant marking and an explanation for every question. Free, no account needed to start, works on your phone.
What you can practise
Reading and Use of English: every exam part — multiple choice cloze, open cloze, word formation, key word transformation, gapped text, multiple matching and cross-text multiple matching.
Listening: real past-paper tasks with audio for every part of the exam.
Writing marked by an AI examiner: write any exam task and get marks on all four official Cambridge scales (Content, Communicative Achievement, Organisation, Language) in about a minute, with corrections quoted from your own script and an estimated grade — calibrated against Cambridge’s own examiner-marked scripts.
Speaking practice: real test tasks with exam timers — solo with a recorder, live with a partner over a built-in video call, or a full three-person mock where a real examiner reads the official script.
Full mock exams: complete papers, timed and scored like the real exam.
A word bank built from your reading: tap any word in a text to see its meaning in that exact sentence, save it, and spaced gap-fill reviews bring it back just before you forget it.
Printable PDF worksheets: download any exercise as a print-ready worksheet with an optional answer key.
