Although these grammar tests are not part of the official Cambridge exams, they are still important as they touch on language elements that you'll come across in all parts of the official exams, such as Reading and Use of English.

Strategy

  1. Read the assessment so you understand what it is about.
  2. Pay attention to the topic on the top-right corner of each assessment.
  3. Check the words before and after each gap and look for grammatical collocations.
  4. Remember that you select a choice by clicking on it.
