These are 4 of 20 exercise types. Every generation includes a complete answer key.
20 exercise types
Six types are modelled directly on Cambridge Use of English and Reading papers and are exclusive to exam mode: Word Formation, Gapped Text, Multiple-choice Cloze, Open Cloze, Key Word Transformation, and Cross-text Multiple Matching. Combined with the five composers, you get 20 exercise types.
Word Formation
B2+Fill gaps using the correct derived form of a root word. Tests derivational morphology.
Gapped Text
B2+Place removed sentences back into a passage (whole paragraphs at C1 and C2), with one or two extra that fit no gap. Tests cohesion.
Multiple-choice Cloze
B2+Choose the right word for each gap in a passage from four close alternatives. Tests collocation and shades of meaning.
Open Cloze
B2+Fill each gap in a passage with a single word and no options given. Tests grammatical and structural control.
Key Word Transformation
B2+Complete a second sentence with a given key word so the meaning is unchanged. Tests structural range under a word limit.
Cross-text Multiple Matching
C1 onlyCompare four short texts on one topic and match each question to the text it answers. Tests synthesis across sources.
B2 and C1
The Cambridge B2 First (FCE) and Cambridge C1 Advanced (CAE) presets are validated to the real Cambridge raw marks. From B2 up, a custom exam can use the same Cambridge parts.
Cambridge B2 First (FCE)
110 marks, validated preset
Cambridge C1 Advanced (CAE)

Common questions
Which Cambridge exams are supported?
Two presets are validated to the real exam structure: Cambridge B2 First (FCE) at 110 marks and Cambridge C1 Advanced (CAE) at 118 marks. Each covers the complete Reading & Use of English paper, seven parts at B2 and eight at C1, plus Writing.
What does 'validated to real exam marks' mean?
The Cambridge B2 First (FCE) and Cambridge C1 Advanced (CAE) presets reproduce the actual Cambridge paper structure and raw mark allocation (110 marks for FCE, 118 for CAE), not an approximation. The number and weighting of questions per section matches the real exam.
Does it cover Use of English?
Yes. Six exercise types are modelled directly on Cambridge papers and are exclusive to exam mode: Multiple-choice Cloze (Reading and Use of English Part 1), Open Cloze (Part 2), Word Formation (Part 3), Key Word Transformation (Part 4), Cross-text Multiple Matching (CAE Reading Part 6) and Gapped Text (B2 First Part 6, C1 Advanced Part 7). You assemble the parts you need.
What do I download?
A ZIP with the full exam paper and a unified answer key, both in PDF and editable DOCX. Each paper opens on its own cover giving its level, marks and time with the official instructions, and ends on an answer sheet.
