About B2 tests
B2 tests assess upper-intermediate learners on a wide range of structures, including mixed conditionals, advanced passives, modals of deduction, reported speech and inversion, plus vocabulary such as collocations, phrasal verbs and word formation.
Sections include multiple-choice cloze, open cloze, word formation and key word transformations, similar in format to B2 First Reading and Use of English, alongside a reading text and an essay or article task. This makes the tests useful as progress checks and exam readiness indicators.
Answer keys and writing guidance are included. Print or download a PDF, or assign the test online via a class link with no account needed.

- Use key word transformation results to see which structures students still find difficult.
- Review word formation errors by grouping them by suffix or prefix.
- Time the Use of English section strictly to build exam pace.
- Give written feedback on the essay using B2 First-style assessment areas.
