Exercises to Prepare B2

I've found by chance this blog to prepare exams of B2. Although it's suppose to be a higher level I think it might be useful to work with; if you find it too difficult, look for the posts of B1. The purpose of this post is to give you exercises to practise English using the format of exam in order to get familiar with it, as it's just practice.
On the other hand, if you feel challenging to have a try with C1, go ahead; but remember there are many differences among CCAA in Spain and also in other institutions which provide exams. As an example, notice that B2 is considered "inglés avanzado" while in Comunidad de Madrid it's the end of intermediate leve.
The examples shown here are taken from previous exams so you might have already done them but the way they are presented is very useful, that is, by skills, although mediation is not included.
The link I´m talking about is this: B2
in Idiomium they also have other links for more practice also by skills:

• listening B2
• reading B2
• writing B2 but also it's useful this entry "tipos de writing"
• speaking B2
• B2 / FCE exams

As usual, let me tell you you should use this practice in chunks, that is, in little portions and paying attention to your weaknesses.

Exercises to prepare C1 at EEOOII

This is a very interesting link to practise with the parts of the exam. I haven't checked all the models suggested but what it is  helpful is the fact that it's a summary of your level and it's divided in skills so you have several different samples of each skill.
This is the link: C1 exams
Maybe it's a repetition of what you already have but it's shorter, more clearly organised and faster to find or yo work with.
In the same site of Idiomium you have these links as well:

• Writing C1 and as a revision you could use this entry "tipos de writing"
• Listening C1 
• Reading C1
• Speaking C1 and also this link with advice for the oral exam
• CAE exam

Hope you'll find it helpful!

Practising with Exams. All levels (2)

These are some more examples of EEOOII exams. It takes a long time to do all of them so I recommend not doing all the parts but those that you don't feel confident enough. If you want me to correct one of the compositions suggested, feel free to do it but remember to copy the task from the sample exam and paste it in the same document you send (Word, Openoffice or Google docs in Google Clasroom or as an attached document in your email) to see if you've followed the instructions correctly.

The exams suggested this time are:

• Comunidad de Aragón: this is the link 
• Comunidad de Cataluña: you can use this link for finding your level (be careful because the instructions and mediation exams are in Catalan)
• Asturias: the exams taken in 2019 and these are the previous ones
• Cantabria: this is the link for the exams and this is for examples done by students
• Canarias: this link is for all the levels so look for yours but intermedio is B1 and avanzado is B2; C1 is named the same.

Preparing the final exams: Correcting Mistakes

I 've found these pages for correcting mistakes so I think you could use them to practise for the exam, especially for the writing part. You have to write the right answer and then you have the explanation when you clik on Answer:

• Intermediate level: click here and here
• For a higher level, click here

For the oral exam the typical difficulty is to do it fluently and with few mistakes. Let's focus on the main problems:

• fluentcy and entonation: try to say full sentences and mark a rhythm in your performance; don't rush, say a couple of sentences qhen you speak and try to sound natural
• accuracy and avoiding mistakes: learn some structures which are useful, mind tenses and use a good vocabulary, especially with the topics of the book

To practise on your own, use your mobile to record your performance, especially the individual part, and try to practise with other students by Skype or by phone.

Reading is not very difficult but if you wnat to practise with cloze tests you can go to this link  and this one for multiple choice for intermediate level. Forn higher levels, you can use this other link by choosing advance level. For advanced level, you can use this other link as well.

If you want to practise with listening comprenhension, you can go to this page for intermediate level and this other for advanced level.

I hope this post will be useful for you all.
