Practice makes perfect…

This revised edition of sample tests for the Cambridge C2 Proficiency Speaking examination has been written to replicate the Cambridge exam experience and has undergone rigorous expert and peer review.

This resource aims to provide meaningful speaking practice while following the format of the C2 Proficiency Speaking paper. Model answers and examiner comments are provided for Test 1, allowing teachers and candidates to familiarise themselves with the format and level of the exam, and the type of questions and topics covered.

Furthermore, and most importantly, students can learn, through repetitive practice, what to expect on the day of their Speaking test.

The resource comprises:

10 Speaking tests (Parts 1–3) with mark schemes, model answers and examiner comments (Test 1), providing a large bank of high-quality practice material for students preparing for the Cambridge C2 Proficiency (CPE) examination.
