Take Mock Test 1 under exam timing to see where you stand: your results page shows the marks for every part and an estimated score per skill. That tells you which papers and parts to practise first.
Between full mocks, practise the weak papers on their own with the FCE Reading and Use of English practice tests and FCE Listening practice tests. Leave a week or two between full mocks so a change in score means something. The 8-week study plan shows one way to fit them in.
These are original practice tests, written by our team to the published B2 First format, reviewed by an expert and checked in a blind answer-key review. They are not Cambridge papers, and they are free: there is no PDF or paid version.
Each mini mock takes about 23 minutes: four real-format parts from the matching full mock, marked instantly with an estimated level.
