Your Cambridge Scale score. Plus the gaps to close.
Anticipated grade, section breakdown, and a per-part view of every exam component — so you know exactly which exercise types to practise before exam day. Below is the report a real B2 First candidate (Anna K.) received.
Anna is above the pass threshold with strong Speaking and Reading. The main gaps are Use of English (word formation) and Writing (sentence complexity). Targeted practice on those two areas can move her to Grade A.
Strong gist comprehension and cohesion tracking. Most marks lost on Part 7 multiple matching, where parallel paraphrases between the questions and short texts were occasionally missed.
- •15 minutes of Part 7 multiple-matching practice daily — focus on synonym scanning.
- •Underline keyword paraphrases before matching to texts.
- •Cambridge B2 First Reading practice tests 4–6.
Word formation (Part 3) is the weakest area — suffix transformations and prefix patterns are inconsistent. Key word transformations on inversion and reported-speech structures also need work.
- •Daily word-family drills focused on -tion, -ence, -ity, -ous, -able suffixes.
- •Cambridge Use of English in Use, Units 12–15 (word-formation chapters).
- •Five key-word-transformation items per day, especially inversion structures ("Hardly had I…", "Not only…").
“A clear stance with consistent paragraphing. Range of linking devices is good — "furthermore", "on the other hand" used effectively. Focus area: complex sentence accuracy. Several errors with relative clauses ("which", "who") break otherwise fluent paragraphs. Continue practising defining vs non-defining relative clauses.”
“Strong opening that engages the reader. Informal register is appropriately maintained throughout. Areas to develop: paragraph organisation (the second paragraph mixes two ideas), and accuracy with past perfect ("had done" vs "did"). Some lexical repetition could be replaced with more precise vocabulary.”
- •Defining vs non-defining relative clauses ("which", "who" with/without commas).
- •Past perfect accuracy in narrative tasks.
- •Rewrite three short paragraphs daily using a wider range of linking devices.
Solid all-round listening performance. Most marks lost on Part 2 sentence completion due to spelling errors on two items.
- •Daily dictation/transcription drills for accurate spelling under Part 2 time pressure.
- •Listen-then-write activities targeting commonly-confused vowels ("ship/sheep", "back/bag").
- •Cambridge B2 First Listening practice Parts 2 and 4 once per week.
Confident responses to general questions about studies and free time. Range of present and past forms used accurately. Some hesitation on more abstract questions, but recovered well.
Strong content selection from the two photographs. One-minute turn sustained with clear comparison and speculation. Could push for more complex linking between ideas next time.
Excellent interaction with the partner. Agreed and disagreed politely; used hedging language ("I'd say…", "It depends…"). One minor issue: occasionally cut the partner off — practise turn-taking phrases.
Extended answers with strong reasoning. Pronunciation was clear and fluent throughout, with only occasional first-language interference on consonant clusters.
- •Turn-taking phrases for Part 3 ("What do you think?", "Sorry, can I just add…").
- •Complex linking between ideas in Part 2 long turns.
- •Light pronunciation work on consonant clusters.
