About CambridgeMock
CambridgeMock is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Cambridge University Press & Assessment. We publish free practice tests for B2 First (FCE) and C1 Advanced (CAE). The tests are written by our team and reviewed by an expert before they go live: how we write our tests.
Who runs CambridgeMock
CambridgeMock is an independent website. You can write to us at hello@cambridgemocktests.com. Everything on the site is free: there is no paid version and nothing to buy. We ask for your email address at the end of a test only so we can send your results and feedback.
What we publish
For each of B2 First (FCE) and C1 Advanced (CAE) there are six full mock tests, 24 single-paper tests (Test 3 of each paper is the matching paper of Mock Test 3) and six short mini mocks, plus a guide to every part of every paper. The tests run in a layout modelled on the computer-based exam, with a timer, a question navigator, gap boxes and a split-screen reading view. Listening plays every recording twice, with the reading times in Cambridge's sample recordings (estimated where Cambridge gives none). Speaking is solo practice: you answer recorded examiner prompts on your own, without a partner.
How the tests are made
Our tests are original: written by our team to the published exam format, reviewed by an expert, and checked by validation scripts and a blind answer-key review in which every question is answered without seeing the key. In the review before launch, all 1,008 Reading, Use of English and Listening questions in our 12 mocks were solved without the key: 1,007 matched it first time, and the one difference was a second correct answer, which is now accepted. The full method, and a log of corrections, is on how we write our tests.
How your answers are marked
Reading, Use of English and Listening are marked as soon as you submit, with the marks per question of the real exam, and every answer is explained. Your raw marks are converted to an estimated Cambridge English Scale score. Writing and Speaking get an expert evaluation against Cambridge's published assessment criteria: our scoring system assesses your answers, and our expert reviews every evaluation before your results are released. Details: how we evaluate your tests.
What our scores are not
They are not official results and cannot predict your result in the real exam. Our tests are original practice papers, not Cambridge papers adjusted to the same difficulty, and we have not yet compared our Writing and Speaking marks with marks from Cambridge examiners. Use them to find out where you stand and what to practise next.
Cambridge's own practice materials
Cambridge publishes a small set of official practice materials for each exam: two paper-based sample tests, computer-based sample tests for Reading and Use of English, Listening and Writing, and sample papers in each Handbook for Teachers. We recommend using them alongside ours:
- B2 First preparation materials and the B2 First Handbook for Teachers
- C1 Advanced preparation materials and the C1 Advanced Handbook for Teachers
- How the digital sample tests differ from the live exam (Cambridge)
