B2FCE

B2 First for Schools preparation pathway

Prepare through Accuracy and pace in Reading and Use of English, Multi-genre writing, argument and audience awareness and stage evidence.

What this task checks

B2 First for Schools preparation should start with entry evidence, then align all four skills with official task demands—not with question volume.

Three-step practice

  1. Stable B1 and can handle longer, structurally varied material
  2. Accuracy and pace in Reading and Use of English
  3. Use official preparation material to understand tasks, then reassess with what CEQ currently makes available.
