Cambridge Exam Practice

Preparing for the Cambridge B1 exam can be (0) A useful way to improve your English in a realistic and structured way. The test is designed to check how well you can use language in everyday situations, so it is important to practise regularly and pay attention (1) .......... grammar, vocabulary, and reading skills. Many students improve faster (2) .......... they work with texts that are similar to those in the real exam. It also helps to understand the format of each task, so that you know what to expect (3) .......... the day of the test. Some learners focus only on memorising words, (4) .......... this is not always enough to achieve a good result. You should also learn to recognise common patterns and fixed expressions, which appear often (5) .......... exam tasks. With steady practice, students can become more confident and better prepared (6) .......... success.

What to do

This part consists of a short text with a series of gaps. There are no words from which to choose the answers, candidates have to think of a word which fits the gap correctly.

Errors in punctuation are ignored, although spelling must be correct.

Contractions (e.g. don’t, we’ve, won’t) count as two words. However, can’t is a contraction of cannot, which is one word.

Sometimes, there is more than one correct answer. Cambridge will always account for this and all options will be accepted. However, you should not write more than one answer.

Don't spend time in a word you don't know. Wasting time on this activity might cost you points later in the exam because you won’t have enough time to do other tasks well.

Strategy

  1. Read the title and the whole text so that you understand what it is about.
  2. Read the whole sentence in which the gap occurs, to look for clues as to what kind of word you need.
  3. Check the words before and after each gap and look for grammatical collocations.
  4. Remember you must write only one word.
  5. You are never required to write a contraction. If you think the answer is a contraction, it must be wrong, so think again.
  6. Read the whole text through once you have completed it to make sure you have not missed any connectors, plurals or negatives.
