Other Study Resources

General Exam Advice

I know you're going to want to study with other resources and not just the ones I provide you with. However there can be bad information out there. So, if you are looking for other resources for studying, here are some you can trust.

Note: Both the B2 First and C1 Advanced exams were updated in 2015. Their old names were FCE and CAE respectively. Many teachers still refer to these exams by these names, and you'll be able to find study material under both the new and old names. 

Practice Tests

There are several books available for preparing for these exams. The best books are published by Cambridge University and you can get them on the official Cambridge website listed below. While there are some other books available from different publishers, sometimes the material is too easy or too hard, so be careful.
