Common questions

How does multi-domain composition work?

Select which skill domains to include — grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, listening — and drag to reorder. Each domain uses the same configuration as its standalone composer. The exam composer combines them into a single paper with unified numbering and mark allocation.

What are the Cambridge presets?

Cambridge B2 First (FCE) produces a 110-mark exam matching the real Cambridge structure. Cambridge C1 Advanced (CAE) produces a 118-mark exam. Both are validated to the actual exam raw marks, not approximations.

What are the exam-exclusive exercise types?

Six types only available in exam mode, each a Cambridge Use of English or Reading part: Multiple-choice Cloze (B2+) — a text with four options per gap; Open Cloze (B2+) — one word per gap; Word Formation (B2+) — fill gaps with the correct derived form of a root word; Key Word Transformation (B2+) — complete a second sentence with the key word given; 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; and Cross-text Multiple Matching (C1 only) — four short texts on one topic, with each question matched to the text that answers it.

Can I create a quick quiz instead of a full exam?

Yes. The Grammar & Vocabulary Quiz preset creates a 25-mark quiz. The Grammar Focus preset makes a 30-mark test. You don't have to build a full multi-domain exam — the composer scales from a quick quiz to a comprehensive assessment.
